What is order of energy of X-rays (

{E_X}

), radio waves (

{E_R}

) and microwave (

{E_M}

)? The amplitude of the sinusoidally oscillating electric field of plane wave is

60\,\,\frac{V}{m}

. Then the amplitude of the magnetic field is An EM wave from air enters a medium. The electric fields are

{E_1} = {E_{01}}\hat x\cos \left[ {2\pi v\left( {\frac{z}{c} - t} \right)} \right]

in air and

{E_2} = {E_{02}}\hat x\cos \left[ {k\left( {2z - ct} \right)} \right]

in medium, where the wave number k and frequency ν refer to their values in air. The medium is non-magnetic.
If

{\varepsilon _{{r_1}}}

and

{\varepsilon _{{r_2}}}

refer to relative permittivities of air and medium respectively, which of the following options is correct? Electric field in a plane electromagnetic wave is given by

E = 50\sin \,(500x - 10 \times {10^{10}}t)\,v/m.

The velocity of electromagnetic wave in this medium is
(Given,

c

= speed of light in vacuum) If an electromagnetic wave is propagation in a medium with permeability 

\mathrm{\varepsilon }

and permittivity

\mathrm{\mu }

, then

\sqrt {\frac{\mathrm{\mu }}{\mathrm{\varepsilon }}}

is the A plane electromagnetic wave of frequency 500 MHz is travelling in vacuum along

y -

direction. At a particular point in space and time,

\overrightarrow B = 8.0 \times {10^{ - 8}}\widehat zT

. The value of electric field at this point is:
(speed of light

= 3 \times {10^8}m{s^{ - 1}}

\widehat x,\widehat {\,y},\widehat {\,z}

are unit vectors along

x,\,y

and

z

directions.
