The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the magnetic field corresponding to the given electric field in electromagnetic (EM) waves, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Electric Field**: The electric field is given as: \[ \mathbf{E} = E_0 \sin(kz - \omega t)(\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \] Here, \(E_0\) is the amplitude, \(k\) is the wave number, \(\omega\) is the angular frequency, and \(\hat{i}\) and \(\hat{j}\) are the unit vectors in the x and y directions, respectively. 2. **Determine the Direction of Propagation**: The wave is propagating in the z-direction, as indicated by the \(kz\) term in the sine function. The direction of the electric field is in the xy-plane, specifically in the direction of \(\hat{i} + \hat{j}\). 3. **Use the Right-Hand Rule**: To find the direction of the magnetic field (\(\mathbf{B}\)), we can use the right-hand rule. According to the right-hand rule for electromagnetic waves: - Point your thumb in the direction of the wave vector (z-direction). - Your fingers should point in the direction of the electric field (\(\hat{i} + \hat{j}\)). - Your palm will then face in the direction of the magnetic field. 4. **Calculate the Magnetic Field Direction**: The electric field vector \(\mathbf{E}\) can be expressed as: \[ \mathbf{E} = E_0 \sin(kz - \omega t) \hat{e} \] where \(\hat{e} = \hat{i} + \hat{j}\). The magnetic field vector \(\mathbf{B}\) will be perpendicular to both \(\mathbf{E}\) and the direction of propagation (z-direction). Since \(\hat{e}\) is in the xy-plane, the magnetic field will have components in the x and y directions. By applying the right-hand rule, we find that the magnetic field will point in the direction of \(-\hat{i} + \hat{j}\). 5. **Write the Magnetic Field Equation**: The magnetic field can be expressed as: \[ \mathbf{B} = B_0 \sin(kz - \omega t)(-\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \] where \(B_0\) is the amplitude of the magnetic field. ### Final Answer: The equation of the magnetic field is: \[ \mathbf{B} = B_0 \sin(kz - \omega t)(-\hat{i} + \hat{j}) \]
