The ratio of contributions made by electric field and magnetic field components to intensity of em wave is

A

c : 1

B

1:1

C

1:c

D

`1: c^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In an electromagnetic wave, half of the intensity is provided by the electric field and half by the magnetic field. Hence required ratio should be 1 : 1.
