My answer is shown below. Note that for a multiple choice question, if you can choose the correct answer without working out the whole calculation, please do so because it will save you time. In this particular question, you can already choose B after working out the wavelength (without even knowing the wavenumber)

  • Generation of electromagnetic waves

    The direction of propagation of the wave (electromagnetic energy) is perpendicular to the plane in which the E and B vectors lie. Hence, an EM wave is transverse in nature. 3. Who first predicted the possibility of electromagnetic waves?

  • The Polarization of Light

    Light is electromagnetic wave with variation of electric and magnetic field perpendicular to each other and both are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of light and hence transverse wave.

  • Maxwell's equations and the wave equation.

    is, both electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to the wave vector k (which points in the direction of the electromagnetic wave's propagation).

  • Transmission and reflection of a plane electromagnetic wave

    177069 Transmission and reflection of a plane electromagnetic wave A plane electromagnetic wave is incident along the normal to the plane interface between the two dielectrics, non-magnetisable media with relative permittivities e1 and e2 respectively

  • Problems Involving Electric and Magnetic Fields

    Electromagnetic waves (which transfer electromagnetic energy) do not need any medium to propagate. EM waves travel forward due to vibrations of the electric field and magnetic field vectors. Example : Light waves are EM waves. 3.

  • Fresnel's equations to calculate the ratio of E_t0 to E_i0

    The incident propagation vector makes an angle of 60o with the normal to the interface and the direction of polarization of the incident wave is normal to the scattering plane.

  • Physics Astronomy: Electromagnetic Radiation

    The electromagnetic waves (wave nature) or radiations (energy nature) are comprised of electric and magnetic field vectors vibrating perpendicular to each other in a plane normal to the direction of propagation of them.

  • Ultrasonic Waves

    As you know, RADAR waves are electromagnetic waves. In em waves, the oscillation of electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to the direction of propagation.
