An electromagnetic wave going through vacuum is described by
` E= E_0 sin(kx- omega t)`. Which of the following is/are independent of the wavelength?

A

`k`

B

`omega`

C

`k//omega`

D

`komega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The angular wave number `k = (2pi)/(lambda)` where `lambda` is the wavelength, The angular frequency is `omega = 2piv`
Ratio, `(k)/(omega) = (2pi//lambda)/(2piv) = (1)/(vlambda) = (1)/(c) =` constant
