Question 96 of 165

A plane electromagnetic wave, has frequency of 2.0×1010Hz2.0\times {10}^{10}Hz and its energy density is 1.02×10−8Jm−31.02\times {10}^{-8}J{m}^{-3} in vacuum. The amplitude of the magnetic field of the wave is close to (14πϵ0=9×109Nm2C2)\left(\dfrac{1}{4{\pi \epsilon }_{0}}=9\times {10}^{9}\dfrac{{Nm}^{2}}{{C}^{2}}\right) and speed of light =3×108ms−1=3\times {10}^{8}m{s}^{-1}.

Show answer and solution

Answer: (B) 160nT160nT

Energy Denisty =12B2μ0=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{{B}^{2}}{{\mu }_{0}}
B=2×μ0×Energy densityB=\sqrt{2\times {\mu }_{0}\times \text{Energy density}}
B=2×4π×10−7×1.02×10−8=160×10−9=160nTB=\sqrt{2\times 4\pi \times {10}^{-7}\times 1.02\times {10}^{-8}}=160\times {10}^{-9}=160nT
