If the magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave is given by
$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=3 \times 10^{-8} \sin \left(1.6 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{x}+48 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{t}\right) \hat{\mathrm{j}}\; \mathrm{T}$
then what will be expression for electric field?
$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}=\left(9 \sin \left(1.6 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{x}+48 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{t}\right) \hat{\mathrm{k}} \;\mathrm{V} / \mathrm{m}\right)$
$\left.\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}=\left(3 \times 10^{-8} \sin \left(1.6 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{x}+48 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{t}\right)\right) \hat{\mathrm{i}}\; \mathrm{V} / \mathrm{m}\right)$
$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}=\left(60 \sin \left(1.6 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{x}+48 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{t}\right) \hat{\mathrm{k}}\; \mathrm{V} / \mathrm{m}\right)$
$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}=\left(3 \times 10^{-8} \sin \left(1.6 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{x}+48 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{t}\right) \hat{\mathrm{j}} \;\mathrm{V} / \mathrm{m}\right)$
Solution
$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{C}}=-\hat{\mathrm{i}}$
where $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}$ is along $\hat{\mathrm{j}}$
$\frac{E}{B}=C$
$\mathrm{E}=3 \times 10^{-8} \times 3 \times 10^{8}=9 \mathrm{V} / \mathrm{m}$
