The electric field E and magnetic field B of an electromagnetic wave passing through vacuum are given by
E=E0sinkx-ωt
B=B0sinkx-ωt
Then the correct statement among the following is
  1. E0k=B0ω
  2. E0ω=B0k
  3. E0B=ωk
  4. E0B0=ωk

Solution

We know that the speed of a wave is given by,

v=ωk ...i 

and the speed of the electromagnetic wave in vacuum is given by,

c=E0B0 ...(ii) 

So, the speed of the electromagnetic wave, using i and ii is,

ωk=E0B0 

E0k=B0ω.
