An electromagnetic wave going through vacuum is described by

E = {E_0}\sin (kx - \omega t)\,\,;\,B = {B_0}\sin (kx - \omega t).

Which of the following equations is true.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

{E_0}k = {B_0}\omega

Option A (

{E_0}k = {B_0}\omega

) is correct because the ratio of the electric field amplitude to the magnetic field amplitude is equal to the speed of light, and the speed of light can also be expressed as the ratio of angular frequency to wave number (

c = \omega/k
