Ques. 1JEE Main 2026, 6 April (Evening Shift)

For an electromagnetic wave propagating through vacuum, k, E and represent propagation vector, electric field and angular frequency, respectively. The magnetic field associated with this wave is represented by :

  1. E k
  2. k E
  3. ( E k )
  4. ( k E )

Answer

(2) k E

Solution

In an EM wave E, B and k are mutually perpendicular and the wave travels along E B.

Example: k along i, E along j ⇒ B along k (∵ j k= i), and k is the direction of k E ( i j= k).

Magnitude: B= Ec and c= k ⇒ B= kE

∵ k E, | k E|=kE

∴ B= k E

Answer: (2)
