Given, a plane electromagnetic wave propagating in the x-direction.
Wavelength of EM wave = 10 nm
Direction of electric field = y direction.
Magnitude of electric field = 60 V/m
Thus, equations for electric and magnetic field is given by,
Using this, a relation between their magnitude is derived as,
Now, on substituting values , we get
which is the required maximum value of magnetic field.
The intensity of the sunlight reaching the earth is 1380 Wm-2. Calculate the amplitudes of electric and magnetic field in the light wave. Assume the light to be a plane monochromatic wave.
A parallel-plate capacitor with rectangular plates is being discharged. Consider a rectangular loop centred on the plates and between them. The loop measures a by 2a, the plate measures 2a by 4a. What fraction of the displacement current is encircled by the loop?
Given,
Speed of electromagnetic waves, v = 2 108 m/s
Relative permeability of the medium = 1
Speed of light,
Using the formula of speed of electromagnetic wave in a medium,
Therefore,
Relative permittivity,
