Q38 jee_main_2024_30_jan_morning Properties of EM Waves
The electric field of an electromagnetic wave in free space is represented as vecE = E_0cos (omega t - kz)hati The corresponding magnetic induction vector will be:
  • A. vecB = E_0Ccos (omega t - kz)hatj
  • B. vecB = fracE_0C cos (omega t - kz) hatj
  • C. vecB = E_0Ccos (omega t + kz)hatj
  • D. vecB = fracE_0Ccos (omega t + kz)hatj

Solution

### Related Formula B_0 = fracE_0C hatC = hatE times hatB ### Core Logic In an electromagnetic wave in free space, the magnitudes of the electric and magnetic fields are related by E_0 = c B_0. Thus, B_0 = E_0 / C. The direction of wave propagation is given by the cross product of the electric field and magnetic field vectors: hatC = hatE times hatB. ### Step 1: Determine Wave Direction and Magnetic Field Direction Given the phase term (omega t - kz), the wave propagates in the +z direction, so hatC = hatk. The electric field oscillates in the +x direction, so hatE = hati. We know: hatk = hati times hatB Since hati times hatj = hatk, the magnetic field must oscillate in the +y direction (hatj). ### Step 2: Construct Final Vector The full magnetic field vector shares the same phase and applies the above amplitude and direction: vecB = fracE_0C cos(omega t - kz) hatj ### Pattern Recognition Phase remains identical. Amplitude scales by 1/c. Direction satisfies the right-hand triad (vecE, vecB, vecv) where vecv = vecE times vecB. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Electromagnetic Waves
