Q.

In an electromagnetic wave in free space the root mean square value of the electric field is Erms=6Vm-1. The peak value of the magnetic field is           [2017]
 

1 2.83×10-8T  
2 0.70×10-8T  
3 4.23×10-8T  
4 1.41×10-8T  

Ans.

(1)

Given, Erms=6Vm-1

ErmsBrms=c  or  Brms=ErmscBrms=63×108=2×10-8T

Since, Brms=B02

where B0 is the peak value of magnetic field.

   B0=Brms2=2×10-8×2T

        B02.83×10-8T
