Answers
please the answer below
Explanation:
A general electromagnetic plane wave, traveling in the x direction, can be expressed in the form:
[tex]\vec{E}=E_0e^{-i(k\cdot x-\omega t)}\hat{j}\\\\\vec{B}=B_0e^{-i(k\cdot x-\omega t)}\hat{k}\\\\[/tex] (1)
1.
a. amplitudes
from (1) we can observe that E_0 and B_0 are the amplitudes.
2. frequency
3.
By replacing (1) we obtain:
[tex]\vec{E}=E_0e^{-i(k(0)-\omega t)}\hat{j}=E_0[cos\omega t+sin\omega t]\hat{j}[/tex]
4.
the wave respond to the followinf physical variables: amplitude, frequency, time and position, as we can see in (1).

1) Eo and Bo. They are maximum amplitudes. Answer 1 and 2
2) .w is angular frequency. Answer 2
3) k is wave number. Answer 1
Explanation:
The electromagnetic wave is given by
[tex]E_{y}[/tex] = E₀ sin (kx –wt)
This is the equation of a traveling wave on the x axis with the elective field oscillating on the y axis
The terms represent E₀ the maximum amplitude of the electric field,
The wave vector
k = 2π /λ
Angular velocity
w = 2π f
To answer the questions let's use the previous definitions
1) Eo and Bo. They are maximum amplitudes. Answer 1 and 2
2) .w is angular frequency. Answer 2
3) k is wave number. Answer 1
amplitudes
Explanation:
In everyday physics we define the amplitude of a wave as the maximum (this can also be called the highest)displacement or distance moved by a point on a given vibrating body or wave as measured from its equilibrium position. The key idea in defining the amplitude of a wave motion is the idea of a 'maximum displacement from the position of equilibrium'.
Given the equations;
E= EoSin(kx - ωt)y
B= Bosin(kx- ωt)z
Both Eo and Bo refer to the maximum displacement of the electric and magnetic field components of the electromagnetic wave. This maximum displacement is known as the amplitude of the electric and magnetic components of the electromagnetic wave.
B) Amplitudes
Explanation:
The equations of the electric and magnetic fields given are sinusoidal functions. he sine function varies between the value of -1 and 1 when is multiplied by a number A then varies from -A to A. In this case the variation goes from -E0 to E for the electric field and from -B0 to B0 for the magnetic field. Because the amplitude is half of the distance between the highest and the lowest value of the sinusoidal function. In the electric field is: E0-(-E0)/2=E0 and in the magnetic field B0-(-B0)/2=B0.
In these formulas, it is useful to understand which variables are parameters that specify the nature of the wave. The variables E₀ and B₀ are the amplitudes of the electric and magnetic fields.
Explanation:
Generally, the variables that specify the nature of the wave are:
(1) The amplitude of the electric field, designated as E₀, and
(2) The amplitude of the electric field, designated as B₀.

Where the fields are sinusoidal, with amplitudes Eo and Bo
Then the correct answer is C
Explanation:
Given that,
E = Eo sin(kx - wt)y
B = Bo sin(kx - wt)z
The general wave equation is given above
Where the fields are sinusoidal, with amplitudes Eo and Bo
This shows that the Eo and Bo are the amplitudes
Also, the wave number k is related to the wavelength(λ)
k=2π/λ
And the angular velocity(ω) is given as
ω=kv
ω=v•2π/λ=2πv/λ. Where f=v/λ
ω=2πf
Where f is the linear frequency
In empty space, the wave propagates at the speed of light
i.e, v=c
The characteristic behavior of the sinusoidal electromagnetic wave is illustrated in the attachment
We notice that E and B are always in phase attaining maxima and minima at the same time
The relationship between Eo and Bo are
from Maxwell relations we know that
dE/dx=-dB/dt
E =Eoin(kx - wt)y
Then,
dE/dx=kEoCos(kx-wt)
dB/dt=wBoCos(kx-wt)
Then, equating them together
dE/dx=-dB/dt
kEoCos(kx-wt) = wBoCos(kx-wt)
Then, Cos(kx-wt) cancels out
kEo=wBo
So,
Eo/Bo = w/k
Since w/k=v=c
Then,
E/B=c
So the Eo and Bo are amplitudes of the electric and magnetic fields respectively
So the correct option is C
