An electromagnetic wave going through vacuum is described by
` E= E_0 sin(kx- omega t)`. Which of the following is/are independent of the wavelength?

A

k

B

`omega`

C

`k//omega`

D

`komega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`(k)/(omega)= (2pi)/(lambda) xx(1)/(2piv)= (2pi)/(lambda) xx (lambda)/(2pic)= (1)/(c)`where c is the velocity of light.
