In an electromagnetic wave in free space the root mean square value of the electric field is . The peak value of the magnetic field is [2017]
(1)
Given,
Since,
where is the peak value of magnetic field.
Out of the following options which one can be used to produce a propagating electromagnetic wave? [2016]
A chargeless particle
An accelerating charge
A charge moving at constant velocity
A stationary charge
(2)
An accelerating charge is used to produce oscillating electric and magnetic fields, hence the electromagnetic wave.
Light with an energy flux of falls on a perfectly reflecting surface at normal incidence. If the surface area is , the average force exerted on the surface is [2014]

Here, Energy flux,
Area,
Speed of light,
For a perfectly reflecting surface, the average force exerted on the surface is
