A plane electromagnetic wave travels in free space along the

x

-direction. The electric field component of the wave at a particular point of space and time is

E = 6\,V{m^{ - 1}}

along

y

-direction. Its corresponding magnetic field component,

B

would be

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

2\,\, \times \,\,{10^{ - 8}}\,T

along

z

-direction

Option A (

2\,\, \times \,\,{10^{ - 8}}\,T

along

z

-direction) is correct because the magnetic field is related to the electric field by

B = \frac{E}{c}

and the direction is given by the Poynting vector.
