To find: Angle velocity ω =?
Wavelength of Electromagnetic wave λ = ?
(i) Ampere of electric field E = ?
\(\frac { E }{ B } =C\Rightarrow E=C.B\Rightarrow 3\times { 10 }^{ 8 }\times 1.6\times { 10 }^{ -7 }\)
E = 48Vm-1.
(ii) Angle velocity, ω = 2πрлк

ω = 1.885 x 108 rad /s.
(iii) Wavelength of Electromagnetic wave, λ = \(\frac{C}{\gamma}\)
\(\gamma=\frac{3\times 10^8}{30\times 10^6}\) = 10m
λ = 10m
38.
(i) Wavelength \(\lambda =\frac { c }{ \gamma } =\frac { 3\times { 10 }^{ 8 } }{ 1.5\times { 10 }^{ 10 } } =2\times { 10 }^{ -2 }m\)
(ii) \(B=\frac { E }{ c } =\frac { 36 }{ 3\times { 1 }0^{ 8 } } =12\times { 10 }^{ -8 }T\)
Formula: (or) 1.2 x 10-7T
Average energy of magnetic field \(\overrightarrow { E } \) \({ U }_{ E }=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } .{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 }{ E }^{ 2 }\)
The average energy density of electric field \(\overrightarrow { B } \) \({ U }_{ E }=\frac { 1 }{ 2{ \mu }_{ 0 } } .{ B }^{ 2 }\)
But E = CB & C2 = \(\frac { 1 }{ { \mu }_{ 0 }{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \)
\({ U }_{ E }=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } .{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 }{ E }^{ 2 }=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } .{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 }{ (CB) }^{ 2 }\)
\({ U }_{ E }=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } .{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 }.\frac { 1 }{ { \mu }_{ 0 }{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } { B }^{ 2 }=\frac { 1 }{ { \mu }_{ 0 }{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } { B }^{ 2 }={ U }_{ B }\)
\(\therefore { U }_{ E }={ U }_{ B }\)
39.
Given:
The frequency of Electromagnetic wave
рлк = 5 x 108Hz
λ = 0.6m
\(\lambda =\frac { c }{ \gamma } =\frac { 3\times { 10 }^{ 8 } }{ 5\times { 10 }^{ 8 } } =0.6\)

\(E={ E }_{ 0 }sin2\pi (vt+\frac { 1 }{ \lambda } .x)\)
E = 30 sin 2π (3 x 108 t + 1.66 x) Vm-1.
40.
According to Ampere's circuital law,
\(\oint _{ s }^{ }{ \overrightarrow { B } .\overrightarrow { dl } } ={ \mu }_{ 0 }I\quad ...(1)\)
As the current flows across the area bounded by loop S1, so
\(\oint _{ { s }_{ 1 },s }^{ }{ \overrightarrow { B } .\overrightarrow { dl } } ={ \mu }_{ 0 }I\quad ...(2)\)
But the area bounded by S2 lies in the region between the plates capacitor where no current flows across it.
\(\therefore \oint _{ { s }_{ 1 } }^{ }{ \overrightarrow { B } .\overrightarrow { dl } } =0\)
Consider that loops enclosing S1 & S2 are infinitesimally close to each other. Then
\(\oint _{ { s }_{ 1 } }^{ }{ \overrightarrow { B } .\overrightarrow { dl } } =\oint _{ { s }_{ 2 } }^{ }{ \overrightarrow { B } .\overrightarrow { dl } } \)
This equation is inconsistent with equations (2) & (3). To remove this maxwell said that a changing electric field (during charging) between the capacitor plates must induce a magnetic field which in turn must be associated with current Id.
\({ I }_{ d }={ \varepsilon }_{ 0 }\left( \frac { d{ \phi }_{ E } }{ dt } \right) \) [\(\frac { d{ \phi }_{ E } }{ dt } \) change in electric flux]
The total current must be
I = Iconduction + Idisplacement
\({ I }_{ c }={ \varepsilon }_{ 0 }\frac { d{ \phi }_{ E } }{ dt } \)
Hence the generalized from of Ampere's circuital law is
\(\oint _{ s }^{ }{ \overrightarrow { B } .\overrightarrow { dl } } ={ \mu }_{ 0 }\left[ { I }_{ c }+{ \varepsilon }_{ 0 }\frac { d{ \phi }_{ E } }{ dt } \right] \)
41.
Emission spectra:
When the spectrum of self luminous source is taken, we get emission spectrum. Each source has its own characteristic emission spectrum. The emission spectrum can be divided into three types:
(i) Continuous emission spectra (or continuous spectra) :
(a) If the light from incandescent lamp (filament bulb) is allowed to pass through prism (simplest spectroscope), it splits into seven colours.
(b) Thus, it consists of wavelengths containing all the visible colours ranging from violet to red (in the figure). Examples: spectrum obtained from carbon arc, incandescent solids.
(ii) Line emission spectrum (or line spectrum) :
(a) Suppose light from hot gas is allowed to pass through a prism, line spectrum is observed. Line spectra are also known as discontinuous spectra. The line spectra consists of sharp lines of definite wavelengths or frequencies.
(b) Such spectra arise due to excited atoms of elements. These lines are the characteristics of the element and are different for different elements. Examples: spectra of atomic hydrogen, helium, etc.
(iii) Band emission spectrum (or band spectrum) :
(a) Band spectrum consists of several number of very closely spaced spectral lines which overlapped together forming specific bands which are separated by dark spaces.
(b) This spectrum has a sharp edge at one end and fades out at the other end. Such spectra arise when the molecules are excited.
(c) Band spectrum is the characteristic of the molecule hence, the structure of the molecules can be studied using their band spectra. Examples, spectra of hydrogen gas, ammonia gas in the discharge tube, etc.
42.
(i) We have stated Ampere's law as \(\oint \vec{B} \cdot \overrightarrow{d l}=\mu_oi\)
(ii) Where, i is the electric current crossing a surface bounded by a closed curve and the line integral of \(\vec{B}\) is calculated along that closed curve. This equation is valid only when the electric field at the surface does not change with time.
(iii) Maxwell strongly believed that when the time varying magnetic field produces an electric field, the time varying electric field must produce a magnetic field.
(iv) To understand how a varying electric field produces magnetic field, let us consider a situation of charging a parallel plate capacitor.
(v) Let ic be the conduction current. To calculate the magnetic field at P (fig. 1 ) an amperian loop. S1 is drawn. Applying Ampere circuital law for the surface S1, we get
\(\oint \vec{B} \cdot \overrightarrow{d l}=\mu_0 i_c\) Where, \(\mu_0\) is permeability of free space.
(vi) Applying the same for the surface S2, we get \(\oint \vec{B} \cdot \overrightarrow{d l}=0.\)
Because the surface S2 nowhere touches the wire carrying conduction current. Therefore for the point P at one surface (S1) it has some value and at another surface (S2) it has zero value.
(vii) So, Maxwell believed that there must be a current associated with the changing electric field in between the capacitor and he called that current as displacement current.
(viii) Applying Gauss law to the electric flux between the plates of the capacitor \(\phi_E=\oint \vec{E} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{dA}}=E A=\frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}\) where, A is the area of the plate.
The change in electric flux is \(\frac{d \phi_F}{d t}=\frac{1}{\varepsilon_0} \frac{d q}{d t}┬а(or) \frac{\mathrm{dq}}{\mathrm{dt}}=\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{d}}=\varepsilon_0 \frac{\mathrm{d} \phi_{\mathrm{E}}}{\mathrm{dt}}\), where id is the displacement current.
(ix) The displacement current can be defined as the current which comes into play in the region in which the electric field and electric flux are changing with time.
(x) So, Maxwell modified Ampere's law \(\oint_{l} \vec{B} \cdot d \vec{l}=\mu_{0} i_c+\mu_{0}-i_d\) which means the total current enclosed by the surface is sum of conduction current and displacement current.
43.
MaxWell's equations in integral form
i) Gauss law in electricity, \(\oint _s\vec{E} \vec{d} A=\frac{Q_{\text {enclosed }}}{\varepsilon_{o}}\)
ii) Gauss law in magnetism \(\oint _s \vec{B} \cdot \vec{d} A=0\)
iii) Faraday's law \(\oint_l \vec E. \vec {d l}=-\frac{d \phi _B}{d t}\)
iv) Ampere-Maxwell's law \(\oint_l \vec {B}. \vec {d l}=\mu_{o} i_c+\mu_{o} \varepsilon_{o} \frac{d}{d t} \oint_s \vec{E} \cdot {d} \vec A\)
