The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements given in the question, we need to understand the relationship between the electric field (\( \vec{E} \)) and magnetic field (\( \vec{B} \)) in electromagnetic waves, particularly in light and radio waves. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Intensity of Electromagnetic Waves**: The intensity \( I \) of an electromagnetic wave is related to the electric field \( \vec{E} \) and magnetic field \( \vec{B} \) by the formula: \[ I = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 c E^2 = \frac{1}{2} \frac{B^2}{\mu_0} c \] where \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space, \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space, and \( c \) is the speed of light in vacuum. 2. **Relating \( \vec{E} \) and \( \vec{B} \)**: In electromagnetic waves, the relationship between the electric field and magnetic field is given by: \[ c = \frac{E}{B} \] This means that for a given intensity, the values of \( \vec{E} \) and \( \vec{B} \) are not independent; they are related through the speed of light. 3. **Comparing Light and Radio Waves**: Both light and radio waves are forms of electromagnetic radiation, but they differ in frequency and wavelength. However, if they have the same intensity, the relationship between \( \vec{E} \) and \( \vec{B} \) will still hold true. 4. **Analyzing the Statements**: - **Statement (A)**: "A light beam or a radio beam of same intensity will have same values of \( \vec{E} \) and \( \vec{B} \)" is **incorrect**. While the intensity is the same, the actual values of \( \vec{E} \) and \( \vec{B} \) can differ due to their dependence on frequency. - **Statement (R)**: "A light beam or a radio beam of same intensity will have different values of \( \vec{E} \) and \( \vec{B} \)" is **correct**. The values of \( \vec{E} \) and \( \vec{B} \) can vary based on the specific characteristics of the wave, even if the intensity is the same. 5. **Conclusion**: The correct conclusion is that (A) is false and (R) is true. Therefore, the answer to the question is that (R) is correct while (A) is incorrect.
