  • A
    $v = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_r K}}$
  • B
    $v = \frac{c}{\sqrt{\mu_r K}}$
  • C
    $v = \frac{K}{\sqrt{\mu_r c}}$
  • D
    $v = \frac{\mu_r}{\sqrt{c K}}$

The electric field of an electromagnetic wave in free space is represented as $\vec{E} = E_0 \cos(\omega t - kz) \hat{i}$. The corresponding magnetic induction vector will be:

The average power output of a point source of an electromagnetic radiation is $1080 \,W$. The maximum value of the rms value of the electric field at a distance of $3 \,m$ from the source is (in $\,Vm^{-1}$)

The electric field in an electromagnetic wave is given by $E = (50 \, NC^{-1}) \sin \omega(t - x/c)$. The energy contained in a cylinder of volume $V$ is $5.5 \times 10^{-12} \, J$. The value of $V$ is $...... \, cm^3$ (given $\epsilon_0 = 8.8 \times 10^{-12} \, C^2 N^{-1} m^{-2}$).
