    $\sqrt {{\mu _0}{\varepsilon _0}} $
  • B
    $\sqrt {\frac{{{\mu _0}}}{{{\varepsilon _0}}}} $
  • C
    $\sqrt {\frac{{{\varepsilon _0}}}{{{\mu _0}}}} $
  • D
    $\frac{1}{{\sqrt {{\mu _0}{\varepsilon _0}} }}$

$A$ plane electromagnetic wave travels in free space along the $x$-direction. The electric field component of the wave at a particular point of space and time is $E = 6 \; Vm^{-1}$ along the $y$-direction. Its corresponding magnetic field component, $B$, would be:

Due to the presence of an em-wave whose electric component is given by $E = 100 \sin(\omega t - kx) \ NC^{-1}$,a cylinder of length $200 \ cm$ holds a certain amount of em-energy inside it. If another cylinder of the same length but half the diameter of the previous one holds the same amount of em-energy,the magnitude of the electric field of the corresponding em-wave should be modified as:
