The magnetic field in a travelling electromagnetic wave has a peak value of 20 nT. The peak value of electric field strength is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: B
6 V/m
Option B (6 V/m) is correct because the peak electric field strength is the product of the peak magnetic field and the speed of light.

Statement I: Sound waves are not electromagnetic waves.
Statement II: Sound waves require a material medium for propagation. For a plane electromagnetic wave propagating in x-direction, which one of the following combination gives the correct possible directions for electric field and magnetic field respectively? Assertion: The relative velocity of two photons travelling in opposite directions is the velocity of light.
Reason: The rest mass of photon is zero Intensity of electromagnetic wave will be The rms value of the electric field of the light coming from the Sun is . The average total energy density of the electromagnetic wave is Methane is a greenhouse gas because
