    A plane electromagnetic wave travels in free space along the x-direction. The electric field component of the wave at a particular point of space and time is \[E=6V{{m}^{-1}}\] along y-direction. Its corresponding magnetic field component, B would be:                                                          [JEE Main 8-4-2019 Morning]

    A) \[6\times {{10}^{-8}}T\] along z-direction

    B) \[6\times {{10}^{-8}}T\] along x-direction

    C) \[2\times {{10}^{-8}}T\] along z-direction

    D) \[2\times {{10}^{-8}}T\] along y-direction

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The direction of propogation of an EM wave is direction of \[\vec{E}\times \vec{B}.\] \[\hat{i}=\hat{j}\times \hat{B}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\hat{B}=\hat{k}\] \[C=\frac{E}{B}\Rightarrow B=\frac{E}{C}=\frac{6}{3\times {{10}^{8}}}\] \[B=2\times {{10}^{8}}T\] along z direction.
