The correct Answer is:
To find the amplitude of the magnetic field (B₀) of a plane electromagnetic wave given the amplitude of the electric field (E₀), we can use the relationship between the electric field, magnetic field, and the speed of light (c). The relationship is given by: \[ E_0 = B_0 \cdot c \] Where: - \( E_0 \) is the amplitude of the electric field, - \( B_0 \) is the amplitude of the magnetic field, - \( c \) is the speed of light in a vacuum (approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \)). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - Amplitude of the electric field, \( E_0 = 6.0 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{V/m} \) - Speed of light, \( c = 3.0 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \) 2. **Rearrange the equation to solve for \( B_0 \)**: \[ B_0 = \frac{E_0}{c} \] 3. **Substitute the known values into the equation**: \[ B_0 = \frac{6.0 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{V/m}}{3.0 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}} \] 4. **Perform the calculation**: - First, calculate the division: \[ B_0 = 6.0 \times 10^{-4} \div 3.0 \times 10^8 = 2.0 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{T} \] 5. **Result**: - The amplitude of the magnetic field \( B_0 \) is \( 2.0 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{T} \). ### Final Answer: The amplitude of the magnetic field is \( 2.0 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{T} \). ---
