MCQ
In an $E.M.$ wave the average energy density is associated with
- Aelectric field only
- Bmagnetic field only
- ✓electric and magnetic fields equally
- Daverage energy density is zero
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
electric and magnetic fields equally
c
Energy density due to electric field $=\frac{1}{2} \in E^{2}$
Energy density due to electric field $=\frac{1}{2} \in E^{2}$
Energy density due to magnetic field $=\frac{1}{2} \frac{B^{2}}{\mu}$
since $\frac{E}{B}=c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\in \mu}}$
Energy density is equally contributed to by electric and magnetic fields.
