Step by step solution

01

Determine the given quantities            

Magnetic component of polarized wave

Bx=(4T)sin[ky+(21015s-1)t]

02

Understanding the concepts of electromagnetic spectrum and polarization

By equating theargument of the given magnetic component to zero, find thedirection of the wave. The direction of polarization is always perpendicular to the direction of propagation and magnetic field. Using this concept, find the direction of polarization of the wave. Using the formula for intensity, we can find the intensity of the wave.By substituting the given values in the general expression of electric field,find its expression. Usethe formula for wavelength,and determinethe region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Formulae:

c=EmBm

I=Erms2c0

Ez=(Em)sin[ky+t]

=2k

03

(a) Determine thedirection of the wave travel

The magnetic component of polarized light wave is

Bx=(4T)sin[ky+(21015s-1)t

To find the direction of wave, we have to equate the argument to zero.

ky+(21015s-1)=0

Solving forywe get

y=(21015s-1k)

The negative sign shows that the wave travels in negativey direction.

04

 Step 4: (b) Determine theaxis of polarization

The direction of propogation of wave is along the y-axis, and the magnetic field is along x-axis. The electric field vector Eisperpenduicular to both of these directions.So the electric field vector isalong z-axis.

The electric field vector detemines the direction of polarization of the wave. Thus, the wave is polarized parallel to the z-axis.

05

(c) Determine theintensity of the wave

Consider the wave speedis related totheelectric field and magnetic field components as

c=EmBm

Em=CBm

The magnitude of the magnetic field is.Bm=4T

Therefore,

Em=3108ms410-6鈥涂=1.2103Vm

By dividing this value of elecric field by,2 determine the rms value oftheelectric field.

Erms=Em2=1.2103Vm2=848.5Vm

Now the intensity is related to the electric field is obtained as:

I=Erms2c0=(848.5Vm)2(3108ms)(410-7鈥涂mA)=1.91103Wm2

Intensity of the wave is1.91103Wm2

06

(d) Determine the electric field of the wave including the value for angular wave number 

Since the electric field is along z direction, the general expression for the electric field is

Ez=(Em)sin[ky+t]

We know that =kcand

data-custom-editor="chemistry" =21015s1

Therefore,

k=21015s13108ms=6.67106m1

Substituting these values inthegeneral expression of electric field, we get

Ez=(1.2103Vm)sin[(6.67106m1)y+(21015s1)t]

Expression for the electric field of the wave including the value for angular wave numberis.Ez=(1.2103Vm)sin[(6.67106m1)y+(21015s1)t]

07

(e) Determine thewavelength 

The wavelength is given by

=2k=26.67106m-1=942nm

Wavelengthis942nm.

08

(f) The region in which the electromagnetic wave is present

From the above calculated wavelength, we can say that the electromagnetic wave lies in the infrared region of light.
