The electric field of an electromagnetic wave travelling through vacuum is given by the equation E = `E_(0) sin (kx - omega t)`. The quantity that is independent of wavelength is

A

`(k)/(omega)`

B

`k omega`

C

`omega`

D

k

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Given, `E = E_(0) sin (kx - omega t)`
Comparing with standard equation, we get
`(k)/(omega) = (2pi//lambda)/(2 pi f) = (1)/(c)`.
