If Electric field intensity of a uniform plane electro magnetic wave is given as E = - 301.6 sin(kz - ωt) x + 452.4 sin (kz - ωt) y . Then, magnetic intensity ‘H’ of this wave in Am-1 will be :

[Given : Speed of light in vacuum c = 3 × 108 ms-1, Permeability of vacuum μ0 = 4π × 10-7 NA-2]

  1. + 0.8 sin (kz - ωt) y + 0.8 sin (kz - ωt) x.
  2. + 1.0 × 10-6 sin (kz - ωt) y + 1.5 × 10-6  (kz - ωt) x
  3. -0.8 sin (kz - ωt) y - 1.2 sin (kz - ωt) x

CONCEPT:

  • Magnetic intensity is written as;

          

          Here we have H as the magnetic intensity, B as the magnetic field and μo is the permeability of the free space.

  • The magnetic field is written as;

           

           Here E is the electric field, and c is the velocity of light.

CALCULATIONS:

Given :  E = - 301.6 sin(kz - ωt) x + 452.4 sin (kz - ωt) 

Now, the magnetic field is written as;

⇒ 

⇒       -----(1)

Now magnetic intensity H is written as;

      -----(2)

Now, on putting the value of equation (1) in (2) we have;

Now, c = 3  108 and μo =  N/A2

Now, 

⇒  = -0.8 sin (kz - ωt) y - 1.2 sin (kz - ωt) x

Hence, the correct answer is option 3).
