The correct Answer is:
To find the equation for the oscillating electric field of an electromagnetic wave propagating in a vacuum along the x-axis, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify Given Values - Frequency (f) = \(3 \times 10^{10} \, \text{Hz}\) - Amplitude of magnetic field (B₀) = \(1 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{T}\) ### Step 2: Calculate Wavelength (λ) The wavelength (λ) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \lambda = \frac{c}{f} \] where \(c\) is the speed of light in vacuum, approximately \(3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}\). Substituting the values: \[ \lambda = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{3 \times 10^{10}} = 10^{-2} \, \text{m} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Amplitude of Electric Field (E₀) The relationship between the electric field amplitude (E₀) and the magnetic field amplitude (B₀) in an electromagnetic wave is given by: \[ E₀ = B₀ \cdot c \] Substituting the values: \[ E₀ = (1 \times 10^{-7}) \cdot (3 \times 10^8) = 3 \times 10^1 = 30 \, \text{V/m} \] ### Step 4: Calculate Angular Frequency (ω) The angular frequency (ω) is given by: \[ \omega = 2\pi f \] Substituting the frequency: \[ \omega = 2\pi \cdot (3 \times 10^{10}) = 6\pi \times 10^{10} \, \text{rad/s} \] ### Step 5: Calculate Wave Number (k) The wave number (k) is given by: \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda} \] Substituting the wavelength: \[ k = \frac{2\pi}{10^{-2}} = 200\pi \, \text{rad/m} \] ### Step 6: Write the Equation for the Electric Field The electric field (E) of an electromagnetic wave propagating in the x-direction can be expressed as: \[ E(x,t) = E₀ \sin(\omega t - kx) \] Substituting the values of \(E₀\), \(\omega\), and \(k\): \[ E(x,t) = 30 \sin(6\pi \times 10^{10} t - 200\pi x) \] ### Final Equation Thus, the equation for the oscillating electric field is: \[ E(x,t) = 30 \sin(6\pi \times 10^{10} t - 200\pi x) \, \text{V/m} \] ---
