The magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave is given by $=2 \times 10^{-7} \sin \left(0.5 \times 10^3 x+1.5 \times 10^{11} t\right)$. This electromagnetic wave is .........

A

Visible light

B

Infrared

C

Microwave

D

Radiowave

Solution

(d)

$B=2 \times 10^{-7} \sin \left(0.5 \times 10^{-3} x+1.5 \times 10^{11} t\right)$

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}, \quad k=0.5 \times 10^{-3}$

$\omega=1.5 \times 10^{11}$

$V=\frac{\omega}{k}=\frac{1.5 \times 10^{11}}{0.5 \times 10^{-3}}=3 \times 10^{14}$

$\frac{\omega}{k}=f \lambda$

$k=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}$

$\therefore \lambda= \frac{2 \pi}{k}=\frac{2 \times 22}{7 \times 0.5 \times 10^{-3}}={1.25 \times 10^4} \,m$
