A plane electromagnetic wave has a maximum electric field magnitude of3.20×10-4V/m. Find the magnetic field amplitude.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnetic field amplitude is 1.067×10-12T.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

Maximum electric field magnitude Em=3.20×10-4V/m.

02

Understanding the concepts of magnetic field

The electric Emand magnetic fields Bmare related to the wave speed c as,

c=EmBm

03

Calculations of the magnetic field amplitude

The electric and the magnetic field are related as,

c=EmBm

Where c is the wave speed c=3.0×108m/s.

Rearranging the above expression as,

Bm=Emc

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

Bm=3.20×10-4V/m3.0×108m/s=1.067×10-12T

Thus, the magnetic field amplitude is 1.067×10-12T.
