$E_{x} = E_{0} \sin (k z - ω t)$
$B_{y} = B_{0} \sin (k z - ω t)$
Then the correct relation between $E_{0}$ and $B_{0}$ is given by

Question

The electric field and magnetic field components of an electromagnetic wave going through vacuum is described by

$E_{x} = E_{0} \sin (k z - ω t)$

$B_{y} = B_{0} \sin (k z - ω t)$

Then the correct relation between $E_{0}$ and $B_{0}$ is given by

TestHub · Accepted Answer

As we know, electric field and magnetic field are related as E 0 = c B 0 , where, c is speed of light in vacuum Also c = ω k ⇒ E 0 = ω k B 0 ⇒ E 0 k = ω B 0
