The correct Answer is:
To find the magnitude of the magnetic vector \( \vec{B} \) of an electromagnetic wave given the electric vector \( \vec{E} \), we can use the relationship between the electric field and the magnetic field in an electromagnetic wave. The relationship is given by: \[ |\vec{E}| = c |\vec{B}| \] where: - \( |\vec{E}| \) is the magnitude of the electric field, - \( |\vec{B}| \) is the magnitude of the magnetic field, - \( c \) is the speed of light in vacuum, approximately \( 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values**: - The electric field \( |\vec{E}| = 3.6 \, \text{V/m} \). - The speed of light \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \). 2. **Rearrange the formula to solve for \( |\vec{B}| \)**: \[ |\vec{B}| = \frac{|\vec{E}|}{c} \] 3. **Substitute the known values into the equation**: \[ |\vec{B}| = \frac{3.6 \, \text{V/m}}{3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s}} \] 4. **Perform the calculation**: \[ |\vec{B}| = \frac{3.6}{3 \times 10^8} = 1.2 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{T} \] 5. **Conclusion**: The magnitude of the magnetic vector \( |\vec{B}| \) is \( 1.2 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{T} \). ### Final Answer: The magnitude of the magnetic vector \( \vec{B} \) is \( 1.2 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{T} \).
