An electromagnetic wave with frequency $\omega $ and wavelength $\lambda $ travels in the $+y$ direction. Its magnetic field is along $+x$ axis. The vector equation for the associated electric field (of amplitude $E_0$) is

  • A

    $\vec E = {E_{0\,}}\,\cos \left( {\omega t - \frac{{2\pi }}{\lambda }y} \right)\hat x$

  • B

    $\vec E = -{E_{0\,}}\,\cos \left( {\omega t + \frac{{2\pi }}{\lambda }y} \right)\hat x$

  • C

    $\vec E = -{E_{0\,}}\,\cos \left( {\omega t + \frac{{2\pi }}{\lambda }y} \right)\hat z$

  • D

    $\vec E = {E_{0\,}}\,\cos \left( {\omega t - \frac{{2\pi }}{\lambda }y} \right)\hat z$

A radar sends an electromagnetic signal of electric field $\left( E _{0}\right)=2.25\,V / m$ and magnetic field $\left( B _{0}\right)=1.5 \times 10^{-8}\,T$ which strikes a target on line of sight at a distance of $3\,km$ in a medium After that, a pail of signal $(echo)$ reflects back towards the radar vitli same velocity and by same path. If the signal was transmitted at time $t_{0}$ from radar. then after how much time (in  $\times 10^{-5}\,s$) echo will reach to the radar?
