A plane electromagnetic wave3 of wavelength `lambda` has an indentsity I. It is propagating along the position Y - direction. The allowed expressions for the electric and magnetic fields are given by

A

`vecE=sqrt((I)/(epsilon_(0)C))cos[(2pi)/(lambda)(y-ct)]hati,vecB=(1)/(c)Ehatk`

B

`vecE=sqrt((I)/(epsilon_(0)C))cos[(2pi)/(lambda)(y-ct)]hatk,vecB=-(1)/(c)Ehati`

C

`vecE=sqrt((2I)/(epsilon_(0)C))cos[(2pi)/(lambda)(y-ct)]hatk,vecB=+(1)/(c)Ehati`

D

`vecE=sqrt((2I)/(epsilon_(0)C))cos[(2pi)/(lambda)(y-ct)]hatk,vecB=-(1)/(c)Ehatj`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

If `E_(0)` is magnitude of electric field then `(1)/(2)epsilon_(0)E^(2)xxC=1 rArr E_(0) =sqrt((2I)/(C epsilon_(0)))`
`E_(0)=(E_(0))/(C )`
Direction of `vecExx vecB` will be along `+hatj`
