The electric field associated with an electromagnetic wave propagating in a dielectric medium is given by E=302x+ysin2π5×1014t-1073z V m-1. Which of the following option(s) is(are) correct?

[Given: The speed of light in vacuum, c=3×108 m s1]

  1. Bx=-2×10-7sin2π5×104t-1073zWb m-2
  2. By=2×10-7sin2π5×1014t-1073zWb m-2
  3. The wave is polarized in the xy-plane with polarization angle 30o with respect to the x-axis
  4. The refractive index of the medium is 2

Solution

Speed of light in medium is v=ωk

v=2π5×10142π×1073

v=1.5×108 m s-1

Therefore, refractive index μ=cv=3×1081.5×108=2

μ=2

Given E=302x+ysin2π5×1014t-1073z V m-1

The wave is polarised in xy-plane with polarisation angle tan-112 with respect to x-axis.

Amplitude of magnetic field, B0=E0V=3022+121.5×108=3051.5×108

Now, direction of B is v×E

=k×2i+j5

=-i+2j5.

 B=-i+2j5×3051.5×108sin2π5×1014t-1073z  Wb m-2=-i+2j×2×10-7sin2π5×1014t-1073z  Wb m-2

Hence,

Bx=-2×10-7sin2π5×1014t-1073z Wb m-2

and By=4×10-7sin2π5×1014t-1073z Wb m-2
