In a plane electromagnetic wave, the electric field oscillates sinusoidally at a frequency of `2.0xx10^(10) Hz` and amplitude 48 V `m^(-1)`.
What is the wavelength of the wave ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) `lamda =(c//v) =1.5 xx10^(-2) m`
(b) `B_(0)=(E_(0)//c)=1.6 xx10^(-7) T`
(c ) Energy density in E field: `u_(E) =(1//2)epsi_(0) E^(2)`
Using `E= cB, and c=(1)/(sqrt(mu_(0) epsi_(0)), u_(E)=u_(B)`
