8.Electromagnetic waves
hard

The electric field of a plane electromagnetic wave propagating along the $x$ direction in vacuum is $\overrightarrow{ E }= E _{0} \hat{ j } \cos (\omega t - kx )$. The magnetic field $\overrightarrow{ B },$ at the moment $t =0$ is :

A

$\overrightarrow{ B }= E _{0} \sqrt{\mu_{0} \epsilon_{0}} \cos ( kx ) \hat{ j }$

B

$\overrightarrow{ B }=\frac{ E _{0}}{\sqrt{\mu_{0} \epsilon_{0}}} \cos ( kx ) \hat{ k }$

C

$\overrightarrow{ B }= E _{0} \sqrt{\mu_{0} \epsilon_{0}} \cos ( kx ) \hat{ k }$

D

$\overrightarrow{ B }=\frac{ E _{0}}{\sqrt{\mu_{0} \in_{0}}} \cos ( kx ){\hat{j}}$

Solution

$\therefore \overrightarrow{ B }(\hat{ k })$

$\Rightarrow \overrightarrow{ B }= B _{0} \cos ( wt – kx ) \hat{ k }$

Now put $t=0$
