The maximum electric field in a plane electromagnetic wave is

600 \mathrm{~NC}^{-1}

. The wave is going in the

x

-direction and the electric field is in the

y

-direction. Find the maximum magnetic field in the wave and its direction.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

2 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~T}, z

-direction

Option A (

2 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~T}, z

-direction) is correct because it's calculated using the relationship between electric and magnetic field amplitudes in an electromagnetic wave, and the direction is determined by the wave's propagation and electric field directions.
