The magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave is given by: B y = 2 × 10 - 7 sin π × 10 3 x + 3 π × 10…

The magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave is given by: By=2×10-7sinπ×103x+3π×1011t T. Calculate the wavelength.
  1. π×103 m
  2. 2×10-3 m
  3. 2×103 m
  4. π×10-3 m

Solution

Recall the standard form of the equation of electromagnetic wave in terms of the magnetic field, By=B0sinkx+ωt T, here B0 is the magnitude of magnetic field, k=2πλ & ω=2πf. The equation is given in the question, By=2×10-7sinπ×103x+3π×1011t T

λ=2πk=2ππ×103λ=2×10-3 m.
