Sample questions

Question 1

A linearly polarised electromagnetic wave given as E = E_{0} \hat{i} cos(kz ˆ - \omega t) is incident normally on a perfectly reflecting infinite wall at z = a. Assuming that the material of the wall is optically inactive, the reflected wave will be given as

Question 2

In an electromagnetic wave in free space the root mean square value of the electric field is E_{rms} = 6 V/m. The peak value of the magnetic field is: [NEET 2017]

Question 3

The average electric field of electromagnetic waves in certain region of free space is 9 × 10^{−4} NC^{−1}. Then, the average magnetic field in the same region is of the order of
