The magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave is given by $\vec B = 1.6 \times 10^{-6} \cos(2 \times 10^7 z + 6 \times 10^{15} t) (2\hat i + \hat j) \text{ Wb/m}^2$. The associated electric field will be

If the rms value of the electric field of electromagnetic waves at a distance of $3 \ m$ from a point source is $3 \ N C^{-1}$,then the power of the source is (in $W$)

$A$ cube of unit volume contains $35 \times 10^7$ photons of frequency $10^{15} \text{ Hz}$. If the energy of all the photons is viewed as the average energy being contained in the electromagnetic waves within the same volume,then the amplitude of the magnetic field is $\alpha \times 10^{-9} \text{ T}$. Taking permeability of free space $\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ Tm/A}$,Planck's constant $h = 6 \times 10^{-34} \text{ Js}$ and $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$,the value of $\alpha$ is $.....$

In an electromagnetic wave,the phase difference between the electric and magnetic field vectors $\vec{E}$ and $\vec{B}$ is:

$A$ carbon dioxide laser emits a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave that travels in a vacuum in the negative $x-$ direction. The wavelength is $10.6\,\mu m$ and the $\vec E$ field is parallel to the $z-$ axis,with $E_{max} = 1.5 \times 10^6\, V/m$. Then the vector equations for $\vec E$ and $\vec B$ as a function of time and position are:
