    The electric field part of an electromagnetic wave in a medium is represented by \[\text{40m}{{\text{s}}^{-1}}\] \[\text{25m}{{\text{s}}^{-1}}\] \[\text{10m}{{\text{s}}^{-1}}\]\[\text{m}{{\text{s}}^{-1}}\] The wave is

    A) moving along y direction with frequency \[2\pi \times \,{{10}^{6}}Hz\] and wavelength 200 m.

    B) moving along x direction with frequency 106 Hz and wavelength 100 m

    C) moving along x direction with frequency \[{{10}^{6}}Hz\] and wavelength 200 m

    D) moving along - x direction with frequency \[{{10}^{6}}Hz\] and wavelength 200 m

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Comparing the given equation \[y=2\sin (7.85\times -1005t)\]\[=(0.02)m\sin (7.85x-1005t)\] With the standard equation  \[v=\frac{dy}{dt}=A\omega \cos \omega t=A\omega \sqrt{1-{{\sin }^{2}}\omega t}\] we get \[=\omega \sqrt{{{A}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}\] \[y=\frac{a}{2}\]\[\therefore \] Moreover, we know that \[v=\omega \sqrt{{{a}^{2}}-\frac{{{a}^{2}}}{4}}=\omega \sqrt{\frac{3{{a}^{2}}}{4}}=\frac{2\pi }{T}\frac{a\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{\pi a\sqrt{3}}{T}\] \[E=hv=h\frac{c}{\lambda }\]\[\Rightarrow \] Hence, the wave is moving along positive x-direction with frequency 106 Hz and wavelength 200 m.
