Write the characteristics of electromagnetic waves.

The magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave is given by $B = (400 \ \mu T) \sin [ (4.0 \times 10^{15} \ s^{-1}) (t - \frac{x}{c}) ]$. The average energy density corresponding to the electric field is:

What is the range of frequency of $EM$ waves that are reflected back by the ionosphere?

An $EM$ wave from air enters a medium. The electric fields are $\overrightarrow {{E_1}} = {E_{01}}\hat x\cos[2\pi v(\frac{z}{c} - t)]$ in air and $\overrightarrow {{E_2}} = {E_{02}}\hat x\cos[k(2z - ct)]$ in medium,where the wave number $k$ and frequency $v$ refer to their values in air. The medium is nonmagnetic. If $\varepsilon_{r_1}$ and $\varepsilon_{r_2}$ refer to relative permittivities of air and medium respectively,which of the following options is correct?

$A$ plane electromagnetic wave of frequency $35 \ MHz$ travels in free space along the $X$-direction. At a particular point (in space and time) $\overrightarrow{E} = 9.6 \ \hat{j} \ V/m$. The value of the magnetic field at this point is:
