The electric field of a plane electromagnetic wave of amplitude $2 \, V/m$ varies with time,propagating along the $z$-axis. The average energy density of the magnetic field (in $J/m^3$) is:

  • A
    $13.29 \times 10^{-12}$
  • B
    $8.85 \times 10^{-12}$
  • C
    $17.72 \times 10^{-12}$
  • D
    $4.43 \times 10^{-12}$

What do electromagnetic waves $NOT$ transport?

For a plane electromagnetic wave,the magnetic field at a point $x$ and time $t$ is $\overrightarrow{ B }( x , t ) = [1.2 \times 10^{-7} \sin (0.5 \times 10^{3} x + 1.5 \times 10^{11} t) \hat{ k }] \text{ T}$. The instantaneous electric field $\overrightarrow{ E }$ corresponding to $\overrightarrow{ B }$ is: (speed of light $c = 3 \times 10^{8} \text{ m/s}$)

The electric field component of a monochromatic radiation is given by
$\vec E = 2E_0 \hat i \cos kz \cos \omega t$
Its magnetic field $\vec B$ is then given by

For plane electromagnetic waves propagating in the positive $Z$-direction,the combination which gives the correct possible direction for $\vec{E}$ and $\vec{B}$ fields respectively is:
