8.Electromagnetic waves
easy
The electric field component of an electromagnetic wave in vaccum is given as $\vec E = 3\cos \,\left( {1.8y + 5.4 \times {{10}^8}\,t} \right)\hat i$ Its direction of propagation and wavelength is
A
$\hat j,\, 1.8\,m$
B
$-\hat j,\, 1.8\,m$
C
$\hat j,\, 3.5\,m$
D
$-\hat j,\, 3.5\,m$
Solution
$\lambda=\frac{2 \pi}{\mathrm{k}}=\frac{2}{1.8}=3.5 \mathrm{\,m}$
