Which of the following pairs of components can produce a plane electromagnetic wave propagating in a direction such that the electric field $\vec{E} = (E_x\hat{i} + E_y\hat{j} + E_z\hat{k})$ and magnetic field $\vec{B} = (B_x\hat{i} + B_y\hat{j} + B_z\hat{k})$ vary with position and time?

The magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave is given by $B = (400 \ \mu T) \sin [ (4.0 \times 10^{15} \ s^{-1}) (t - \frac{x}{c}) ]$. The average energy density corresponding to the electric field is:

$A$ radio can tune into any station in the $6 \text{ MHz}$ to $12 \text{ MHz}$ band. What is the corresponding wavelength band? ( $c = 3 \times 10^{8} \text{ m/s}$ )

An electromagnetic wave has its electric and magnetic fields given by $\vec{E}(t) = \vec{E}_m \sin(kx - \omega t)$ and $\vec{B}(t) = \vec{B}_m \sin(kx - \omega t)$. If the directions of $\vec{E}_m$ and $\vec{B}_m$ are in the direction of $\hat{i} + \hat{j}$ and $\hat{i} - \hat{j}$ respectively,the unit vector that gives the direction of propagation of the wave is:

Identify the correct statements from the following descriptions of various properties of electromagnetic waves.
$A$. In a plane electromagnetic wave,the electric field and magnetic field must be perpendicular to each other,and the direction of propagation of the wave should be along the electric field or magnetic field.
$B$. The energy in an electromagnetic wave is divided equally between the electric and magnetic fields.
$C$. Both the electric field and magnetic field are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
$D$. The electric field,magnetic field,and direction of propagation of the wave must be mutually perpendicular to each other.
$E$. The ratio of the amplitude of the magnetic field $(B_0)$ to the amplitude of the electric field $(E_0)$ is equal to the reciprocal of the speed of light $(1/c)$.
