Properties of EM Waves: Practice Problem & Solution

Short Solution (Best for NEET):

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Properties of EM Waves. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

The peak value of the electric field is $E_0 = \sqrt{2} E_{rms} = 6\sqrt{2} V/m$.
The peak value of the magnetic field is $B_0 = \frac{E_0}{c} = \frac{6\sqrt{2}}{3 \times 10^8}$.
$B_0 = 2\sqrt{2} \times 10^{-8} \approx 2.828 \times 10^{-8} T \approx 2.83 \times 10^{-8} T$.
