Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Electromagnetic waves are not deflected by electric and magnetic field.
Statement II: The amplitude of electric filed and the magnetic field in electromagnetic waves are related to each other as $E_{0} = \sqrt{\frac{μ_{0}}{ε_{0}}} B_{0}$
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below

Detailed Solution

EM waves do not have charge as they are photons hence not deflected by electric and
magnetic fields.

Hence statement I is true
$\begin{array}{l} E_{0} = B_{0} C \\ E_{0} = \frac{B_{0}}{\sqrt{μ_{0} ϵ_{0}}} \end{array}$
Hence statement II is false
