Nature of electromagnetic wave
Question

The electric field of an electromagnetic wave in free space is given by E=10 cos107t+kxj^  V/m, where t and x are in seconds and metres respectively. It can be inferred that

1) the wavelength λ is 188.4 m

2) the wave number k is 0.33 rad/m.

3) the wave amplitude is 10 V/m.

4) the wave is propagating along + x direction.

Which one of the following pairs of statements is correct ?

Moderate
Solution

Wavelength λ ; Given ω = 107 rad / sec

λ=Cn=3 x 108ω2π=3 x 1081072π=30 x 2π=188.4 m

Amplitude of electric field = 10 V/m
