Chapter 31: Q. 6 (page 900)

Do the situations in FIGURE represent possible electromagnetic waves? If not, why not?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) It's NO electromagnetic waves.

b) It's electromagnetic waves.

Step by step solution

01

Electromagnetic waves

Waves transmitted by synchronous periodic fluctuations in electro magnetic flux strength include radio waves, ultraviolet, actinic radiation, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma radiation.

02

Find values using graph (part a and b)

From picture, we've got to find:

(a) The direction of vemis E×Bwhich might be along the x-axis. So, answer is not any.

(b) The Pointing vector requirement is satisfied.

So, answer is Yes.

(a) (b)
