  • question_answer
    A monochromatic beam of light has a frequency \[\upsilon =\frac{3}{2\pi }\times {{10}^{12}}\]Hz and is propagating along the direction\[\frac{\hat{i}+\hat{j}}{\sqrt{2}}\] It is polarized along the \[\hat{k}\]direction. The acceptable form for the magnetic field is

    A) \[\frac{{{E}_{0}}}{C}\frac{(\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k})}{\sqrt{3}}\cos \left[ {{10}^{4}}\frac{(\hat{i}+\hat{j})}{\sqrt{2}}.\vec{r}+(3\times {{10}^{12}})t \right]\]

    B) \[\frac{{{E}_{0}}}{C}\frac{(\hat{i}-\hat{j})}{\sqrt{2}}\cos \left[ {{10}^{4}}\frac{(\hat{i}+\hat{j})}{\sqrt{2}}.\vec{r}-(3\times {{10}^{12}})t \right]\]

    C) \[\frac{{{E}_{0}}}{C}\frac{(\hat{i}-\hat{j})}{\sqrt{2}}\cos \left[ {{10}^{4}}\frac{(\hat{i}-\hat{j})}{\sqrt{2}}.\vec{r}-(3\times {{10}^{12}})t \right]\]

    D) \[\frac{{{E}_{0}}}{C}\hat{k}\cos \left[ {{10}^{4}}\frac{(\hat{i}+\hat{j})}{\sqrt{2}}.\vec{r}+(3\times {{10}^{12}})t \right]\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b]:\[\overline{E}\times \overline{B}\] gives   direction   of  wave propagation. \[\Rightarrow \]\[\hat{k}\times \vec{B}||\frac{\hat{i}+\hat{j}}{\sqrt{2}}\] Now,\[\hat{k}\left( \frac{\hat{i}-\hat{j}}{\sqrt{2}} \right)=\frac{\hat{j}-(-\hat{i})}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\hat{i}+\hat{j}}{\sqrt{2}}\] Wave propagation vector should be along\[\frac{\hat{i}+\hat{j}}{\sqrt{2}}\] and direction of magnetic field is along \[\frac{\hat{i}-\hat{j}}{\sqrt{2}}\] .
