The ratio of contributions made by the electric field and magnetic filed components to the intensity of an electromagnetic wave is
An EM wave from air enters a medium. The electric fields are $\overrightarrow {{E_1}} = {E_{01}}\hat x\;cos\left[ {2\pi v\left( {\frac{z}{c} - t} \right)} \right]$ in air and $\overrightarrow {{E_2}} = {E_{02}}\hat x\;cos\left[ {k\left( {2z - ct} \right)} \right]$ in medium, where the wave number $k$ and frequency $v$ refer to their values in air. The medium is nonmagnetic. If $\varepsilon {_{{r_1}}}$ and $\varepsilon {_{{r_2}}}$ refer to relative permittivities of air and medium respectively, which of the following options is correct?
The electric field and magnetic field components of an electromagnetic wave going through vacuum is described by
$E _{ x }= E _0 \sin ( kz -\omega t )$
$B _{ y }= B _0 \sin ( kz -\omega t )$
Then the correct relation between $E_0$ and $B_0$ is given by
Even though an electric field $E$ exerts a force $qE$ on a charged particle yet the electric field of an $EM$ wave does not contribute to the radiation pressure (but transfers energy). Explain.
Electromagnetic wave consists of periodically oscillating electric and magnetic vectors
