The correct Answer is:
To find the maximum value of the electric field (E₀) in a plane electromagnetic wave given the amplitude of the magnetic field (B₀), we can use the relationship between the electric field and the magnetic field in electromagnetic waves. The formula we will use is: \[ E_0 = B_0 \times c \] where: - \( E_0 \) is the maximum electric field, - \( B_0 \) is the maximum magnetic field (given as \( 1.6 \times 10^{-11} \, T \)), - \( c \) is the speed of light in vacuum (approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \, m/s \)). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Amplitude of the magnetic field, \( B_0 = 1.6 \times 10^{-11} \, T \) - Speed of light, \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, m/s \) 2. **Use the Formula for Maximum Electric Field:** - Substitute the values into the formula: \[ E_0 = B_0 \times c \] 3. **Calculate the Electric Field:** - Substitute \( B_0 \) and \( c \): \[ E_0 = (1.6 \times 10^{-11} \, T) \times (3 \times 10^8 \, m/s) \] 4. **Perform the Multiplication:** - Calculate: \[ E_0 = 1.6 \times 3 \times 10^{-11} \times 10^8 \] \[ E_0 = 4.8 \times 10^{-3} \, V/m \] 5. **Final Result:** - The maximum value of the electric field is: \[ E_0 = 4.8 \times 10^{-3} \, V/m \] ### Conclusion: The maximum value of the electric field in the plane electromagnetic wave is \( 4.8 \times 10^{-3} \, V/m \).
