1. | reciprocal of speed of light in vacuum. |
2. | the ratio of magnetic permeability to the electric susceptibility of vacuum. |
3. | unity. |
4. | the speed of light in a vacuum. |
The magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave is given by:
\(B_y = 2\times10^{-7} ~\text{sin}\left(\pi \times10^{3}x+3\pi\times10^{11}t\right )\text{T}\)
The wavelength is:

2. \(2\times10^{-3}~\text{m}\)
3. \(2\times10^{3}~\text{m}\)
4. \(\pi\times 10^{-3}~\text{m}\)
Which of the following is not an electromagnetic wave?
1. Radio wave
2. Micro wave
3. Cosmic rays
4. -rays
If an electromagnetic wave propagating through vacuum is described by \(E_y= E_0 \sin(kx-\omega t); ~B_z= B_0\sin(kx-\omega t),\) then:
1. \(E_0k=B_0\omega\)
2. \(E_0B_0 = \omega k\)
3. \(E_0\omega= B_0k\)
4. \(E_0B_0= \frac{\omega}{k}\)
A compass needle is placed in the gap of a parallel plate capacitor. The capacitor is connected to a battery through a resistance. The compass needle:
1. | does not deflect. |
2. | deflects for a very short time and then comes back to the original position. |
3. | deflects and remains deflected as long as the battery is connected. |
4. | deflects and gradually comes to the original position in a time which is large compared to the time constant. |
A plane electromagnetic wave is incident on a material surface. The wave delivers momentum \(p\) and energy \(E.\) Then:
1. | \(p=0, E \neq0\) |
2. | \(p\neq0, E=0\) |
3. | \(p\neq0, E \neq0\) |
4. | \(p=0, E=0\) |
Displacement current goes through the gap between the plates of a capacitor when the charge of the capacitor:
(a) | increases |
(b) | decreases |
(c) | does not change |
(d) | is zero |
