8.Electromagnetic waves
hard
Electric field of plane electromagnetic wave propagating through a non-magnetic medium is given by ${E}=20 \cos \left(2 \times 10^{10} {t}-200 {x}\right) \,{V} / {m} .$ The dielectric constant of the medium is equal to :
(Take $\mu_{{r}}=1$ )
A
$9$
B
$2$
C
$\frac{1}{3}$
D
$3$
(JEE MAIN-2021)
Solution
Speed of wave $=\frac{2 \times 10^{10}}{200}=10^{8}\, {m} / {s}$
Refractive index $=\frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{10^{8}}=3$
Now refractive index $=\sqrt{\varepsilon_{{r}} \mu_{{r}}}$
$3=\sqrt{\varepsilon_{{r}}(1)}$
$\Rightarrow \varepsilon_{{r}}=9$
