What is radiation pressure ?
For the plane electromagnetic wave given by $\mathrm{E}=\mathrm{E}_0 \sin (\omega \mathrm{t}-\mathrm{kx})$ and $\mathrm{B}=\mathrm{B}_0 \sin (\omega \mathrm{t}-\mathrm{kx})$, the ratio of average electric energy density to average magnetic energy density is
A plane electromagnetic wave travelling along the $X$-direction has a wavelength of $3\ mm$ . The variation in the electric field occurs in the $Y$-direction with an amplitude $66\ Vm^{-1}$. The equations for the electric and magnetic fields as a function of $x$ and $t$ are respectively :-
The velocity of certain ions that pass undeflected through crossed electric field $E = 7.7\,k\,V /m$ and magnetic field $B = 0.14\,T$ is.....$km/s$
The magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave is given by
${B_y} = \left( {2 \times {{10}^{ - 7}}} \right)\sin \left( {0.5 \times {{10}^3}x + 1.5 \times {{10}^{11}}t} \right)T$
$(a)$ What is the wavelength and frequency of the wave?
$(b)$ Write an expression for the electric field.
The electric field associated with an $e.m.$ wave in vacuum is given by $\vec E = \hat i\,40\,\cos \,\left( {kz - 6 \times {{10}^8}\,t} \right)$. where $E$, $z$ and $t$ are in $volt/m$, meter and seconds respectively. The value of wave factor $k$ is ....... $m^{-1}$.
