Ques. 1AIPMT 2007

The electric and magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave are

  1. in opposite phase and perpendicular to each other
  2. in opposite phase and parallel to each other
  3. in phase and perpendicular to each other
  4. in phase and parallel to each other

Answer

(3) in phase and perpendicular to each other

Solution

As per NCERT, in a plane electromagnetic wave travelling along z:

Ex = E0 (kz - t), By = B0 (kz - t)

both fields reach their maxima and zeros together, i.e. they are in phase.

E is along x and B is along y, they are perpendicular to each other (and both are perpendicular to the direction of propagation).

The fields are in phase and perpendicular to each other.

Answer: (3)
