During the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a medium

A

Electric energy density is half of the magnetic energy density

B

Electric energy density is equal to the magnetic energy density

C

Both electric and magnetic energy densities are zero

D

Electric energy density is double of the magnetic energy density

(JEE MAIN-2014)

Solution

$E_{0}=\mathrm{CB}_{0}$ and $C=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}}}$

Electric energy density $=\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_{0} E_{0}^{2}=\mu_{E}$

Magnetic energy density $=\frac{1}{2} \frac{B o^{2}}{\mu_{0}}=\mu_{B}$

Thus, $\mu_{\mathrm{E}}=\mu_{B}$

Energy is equally divided between electric and magnetic field
