A plane electromagnetic wave travels in vacuum along z- direction. What can you say about the directions of ots electric and magnetic field vectors. If the frequency of the wave is `30 MHz`, what is its wavelength?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The frequency of an electromagnetic wave produced by the oscillator is the same as that of a charged particle oscillating about its mean positon i.e., `10^(9)Hz`.
