The energy contribution of both electric and magnetic fields are equal.
The direction of propagation is in the direction of electric field E
The pressure exerted by the wave is the product of energy density and the speed of the wave
If the magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave is given as By = 2 x 10-7 sin (103 x + 1.5x 1012 t) tesla, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave is
0.314 mm
0.628 mm
6.28 mm
1.26 mm
The electromagnetic waves travel with
the same speed in all media
the speed of sound in free space
the speed of light c = 3 x 108 ms-1 in free space
the speed of light c = 3 x 108 ms-1 in fluid medium
The energy of infrared waves is greater than that of
visible light
ultraviolet waves
micro waves
gamma rays
C.
micro waves
Since, the wavelength of microwave is greater than infrared, so the energy of infrared waves is greater than that of microwaves.
