Maxwell showed that the speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the permeability and permittivity of the medium through which it travels. The speed of an electromagnetic wave in free space is given by \(c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}}} .\)The fact led Maxwell to predict that light is an electromagnetic wave. The emergence of the speed of light from purely electromagnetic considerations is the crowning achievement of Maxwell's electromagnetic theory. The speed of an electromagnetic wave in any medium of permeability \(\mu\) and permittivity \(\varepsilon\) will be \(\frac{c}{\sqrt{K \mu_{r}}}\) where K is the dielectric constant of the medium and \(\mu_r\) is the relative permeability.
(i) The dimensions of \(\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_{0} E^{2}\) (\(\varepsilon_o\) permittivity of free space; E = electric field) is
| \((a) \mathrm{MLT}^{-1}\) | \((b) \mathrm{ML}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\) | \((c) \mathrm{ML}^{-1} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\) | \((d) M L^{2} T^{-1}\) |
(ii) Let [\(\varepsilon\)0] denote the dimensional formula of the permittivity of the vacuum. If M = mass, L = length, T = time and A = electric current, then
| \((a) \left[\varepsilon_{0}\right]=\mathrm{M}^{-1} \mathrm{~L}^{-3} \mathrm{~T}^{2} \mathrm{~A}\) | \((b) \left[\varepsilon_{0}\right]=M^{-1} L^{-3} T^{4} A^{2}\) |
| \((c) \left[\varepsilon_{0}\right]=\mathrm{MLT}^{-2} \mathrm{~A}^{-2}\) | \((d) \left[\varepsilon_{0}\right]=\mathrm{ML}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-1}\) |

(v) The electromagnetic waves travel with
| (a) the same speed in all media |
| (b) the speed of light c = 3 x 108 m s-1 in free space |
| (c) the speed oflight c = 3 x 108 m S-1 in solid medium |
| (d) the speed of light c = 3 x 108 m s-1 in fluid medium |
23.
In an electromagnetic wave both the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to the direction of propagation, that is why electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature. Electromagnetic waves carry energy as they travel through space and this energy is shared equally by the electric and magnetic fields. Energy density of an electromagnetic waves is the energy in unit volume of the space through which the wave travels.
(i) The electromagnetic waves propagated perpendicular to both \(\vec{E} \text { and } \vec{B}\). The electromagnetic waves travel in the direction of
| \((a) \vec{E} \cdot \vec{B}\) | \((b) \vec{E} \times \vec{B}\) |

1.
Frequency of the electromagnetic wave, ν = 2.0 x 1010 Hz
Electric field amplitude, E0 = 48 V m−1
Speed of light, c = 3 x 108 m/s
(a) Wavelength of a wave is given as:
\(\lambda=\frac{c}{v}\)
\(=\frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{2 \times 10^{10}}=0.015 \mathrm{~m}\)
(b) Magnetic field strength is given as:
\(B_{0}=\frac{E_{0}}{c}\)
\(=\frac{48}{3 \times 10^{8}}=1.6 \times 10^{-7} T\)
(c) Energy density of the electric field is given as:
\(U_{E}=\frac{1}{2} \in_{0} E^{2}\)
And, energy density of the magnetic field is given as:
\(U_{B}=\frac{1}{2 \mu_{0}} B^{2}\)
Where,
∈0 = Permittivity of free space
μ0 = Permeability of free space
We have the relation connecting E and B as:
E = cB … (1)
Where,
\(c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon_{0} \mu_{0}}} \ldots \text { (2) }\)
Putting equation (2) in equation (1), we get
\(E=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon_{0} \mu_{0}}}\)
Squaring both sides, we get
\(E=\frac{1}{\epsilon_{0} \mu_{0}} B^{2}\)
\(\epsilon_{0} E^{2}=\frac{B^{2}}{\mu_{0}}\)
2.
Here, R = 10 cm = 0.1 cm;
C = 200 pF = 200 x 10-12 F = 2 x 10-10 F;
Erms = 200 V; \(\omega\) = 200 rad s-1 ;
r = 2.0 x 10-2 m.
(a) \({ I }_{ rms }=\frac { { E }_{ rms } }{ 1/\omega C } =\omega C{ E }_{ rms }\)
= 200 x (2 x 10-10) x 200
(b) Yes, because ID = 1
(c) \({ I }_{ 0 }=\sqrt { 2 } { I }_{ rms }=\sqrt { 2 } \times 8\times { 10 }^{ -6 }\)
= 11.312 x 10-6 A
(d) Consider a loop of radius r between two circular plates of parallel plate capacitor placed coaxially with them. The area of this loop \({ A }^{ \prime }=\pi { r }^{ 2 }\)
By symmetry, the magnetic field \(\overrightarrow { B } \) is equal in magnitude and is tangentially to the circle at every point. In this case, only a part of displacement current ID will cross the loop of area \({ A }^{ \prime }\) . Therefore, the current passing through the area \({ A }^{ \prime }\)
\({ I }^{ \prime }=\frac { { I }_{ D } }{ \pi { R }^{ 2 } } \times \pi { r }^{ 2 }=\frac { { I }_{ D } }{ { R }^{ 2 } } { r }^{ 2 }\)
Using Ampere's Maxwell law we have, \(\oint { \overrightarrow { B } .\overrightarrow { dl } } ={ \mu }_{ 0 }\times \)(total current through the area \({ A }^{ \prime }\)) or \(B=\frac { { \mu }_{ 0 }{ I }_{ 0 }r }{ 2\pi { R }^{ 2 } } =\frac { 4\pi \times { 10 }^{ -7 }\times 11.312\times { 10 }^{ -6 }\times 2\times { 10 }^{ -2 } }{ 2\pi \times { \left( 0.1 \right) }^{ 2 } } \)
or \(2\pi rB={ \mu }_{ 0 }\frac { { I }_{ 0 } }{ { R }^{ 2 } } { r }^{ 2 }\)
= 4.525 x 10-12 T
3.
Here, \({ I }_{ D }=2.0A, \ C=1\mu F={ 10 }^{ -6 }F.\)
We know, \({ I }_{ D }={ \epsilon }_{ 0 }\frac { d{ \phi }_{ E } }{ dt } ={ \epsilon }_{ 0 }\frac { d }{ dt } \left( EA \right) \)
\(={ \epsilon }_{ 0 }A\frac { dE }{ dt } ={ \epsilon }_{ 0 }A\frac { d }{ dt } \left( \frac { V }{ d } \right) ={ \epsilon }_{ 0 }\frac { A }{ d } \frac { dV }{ dt } =C\frac { dV }{ dt } \)
\(\left( \because E=\frac { V }{ d } \right) and \ \left( C=\frac { { \epsilon }_{ 0 }A }{ d } \right) \)
\(or \ \frac { dV }{ dt } =\frac { { I }_{ D } }{ D } =\frac { 2.0 }{ { 10 }^{ -6 } } =2\times { 10 }^{ -6 }V{ s }^{ -1 }\)
Thus a displacement current of 2.0 A can be set up by changing the potential difference across the parallel plates of capacitor at the rate of 2 x 106 Vs-1 .
4.
Energy of photon, \(\mathrm{E}=\mathrm{hv}\)
This implies,\(\mathrm{E}=\mathrm{h} \frac{\mathrm{c}}{\lambda}\)
Where, \(\mathrm{h}=6.62 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{js}\)
\( \mathrm{c}=3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
If wave length \(\lambda\) is in meter and energy is in joule then, we will divide E by \(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\) to convert into eV (Electron volt).
\(\therefore \mathrm{E}=\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \mathrm{eV}\)
(1) For y - rays wave length ranges from to less that \(10^{-14} \mathrm{~m}\)
Therefore, \(\text { Energy }=\frac{6.62 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{10^{-10} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \mathrm{eV} \)
\(=12.4 \times 10^3 \mathrm{eV} \approx 10^4 \mathrm{eV}\)
Thus, \( \lambda=10^{-10} \mathrm{~m}, \text { energy }=10^4 \mathrm{eV} \text { and }\) \( \lambda=10^{-14} \mathrm{~m} \text {, energy }=10^8 \mathrm{eV}\)
Energy of y - rays ranges between 104 to \(10^8 \mathrm{eV}\)
(2) For X - rays wave length ranges from \(10^{-8} \mathrm{~m}\) to \(10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}\) For \(\lambda=10^{-8}\)
Therefore, \(\text { Energy }=\frac{6.62 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{10^{-8} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \mathrm{eV} \)
\(=12.4 \approx 10^2 \mathrm{eV}\)
\( \lambda=10^{-13} \mathrm{~m} \text {, energy }=10^7 \mathrm{eV}\)
(3) For violet radiation \(\lambda\) ranges from \(4 \times 10^{-7}\) to \(6 \times 10^{-10}\)
Therefore, for \(\lambda=4 \times 10^{-7}\)
\(\text { Energy }=\frac{6.62 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{4 \times 10^{-7} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \mathrm{eV} =3.1 \mathrm{eV} \approx 10^{10} \mathrm{eV}\)
\(\lambda=6 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{~m} \text {, Energy }=10^3 \mathrm{eV}\)
Energy of ultraviolet radiation vary between \(10^{10}\) to \(10^3 \mathrm{eV}\).
(4) For visible radiations wave length range from \(4 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}\) to \(7 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}\)
Therefore,
For \(\lambda=4 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}\), and Energy \(=10^{10} \mathrm{eV}\)
\(\text { Energy }=\frac{6.62 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{7 \times 10^{-7} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \mathrm{VV} \)
\(=1.77 \mathrm{eV} \approx 10^{\circ} \mathrm{eV}\)
(5) For infrared radiation $\lambda$ range from \(7 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{~m}\) to \(7 \times 10^{-14} \mathrm{~m}\)
Therefore, \(\lambda=7 \times 10^{-7} \text {, energy }=10^{\circ} \mathrm{eV}\)
For \(\lambda=7 \times 10^{-4} \text {, energy }=\frac{1}{1000} \text { times }\)
the other order of \(10^{-3}\)eV
(6) For micro waves $\lambda$ ranges from 1 mm to 0.3 m
For \(\lambda=1 \mathrm{~mm}\) or \(10^{-3}\)
energy is equal to \( \text { Energy }=\frac{6.62 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{10^{-3} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \mathrm{eV} \)
\(=1.24 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{eV} \approx 10^{-3} \mathrm{eV}\)
For \(\lambda=0.3 \mathrm{~m} \text {, Energy }=4.1 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{eV} \approx 10^{-6} \mathrm{eV} \text {. }\)
(7) For Radio waves $\lambda$ ranges from 1 m to few km For $\lambda=1 \mathrm{~m}$
For λ=1m
Energy is equal to
\(=\frac{6.62 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{10^0 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \mathrm{eV} \)
\(=1.24 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{eV} \approx 10^{-6} \mathrm{eV}\)
Energy for λ of the order of few km≈10−6eV
The Energy of a photon that a source produces indicates the spacing of relevant energy levels of the source
5.
Given, amplitude of an electromagnetic wave,
E0 = 120 N/C
Frequency of wave, v = 50 MHz = 50 \(\times\) 106 Hz
(i) Speed of light in vacuum, \(c=\frac{E_0}{B_0}\)
\(\begin{aligned} B_0=\frac{E_0}{c}= & \frac{120}{3 \times 10^8}=40 \times 10^{-8} \end{aligned}\)
= 400 \(\times\) 10-9 T = 400 nT
Angular frequency of electromagnetic wave,
\(\omega=2 \pi \nu=2 \times 3.14 \times 50 \times 10^6\)
\(\omega=3.14 \times 10^8 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\)
Wave number of electromagnetic wave,
\(k=\frac{\omega}{c}=\frac{3.14 \times 10^8}{3 \times 10^8}=1.05 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{m}\)
Wavelength of electromagnetic wave,
\(\lambda=\frac{c}{v}=\frac{3 \times 10^8}{50 \times 10^6}=6.00 \mathrm{~m}\)
(ii) Expression of electric field, E = E0 sin (kx - \(\omega\)t)
E = 120 sin (1.05x - 3.14 \(\times\)108 t)
Expression of magnetic field B,
B = B0 sin (kx - \(\omega\)t)
E = 120 sin (kx - \(\omega\)t)
B = 4 \(\times\)10-7 sin (1.05x - 3.14 \(\times\) 108 t)
6.
Given, amplitude of the magnetic field part of harmonic electromagnetic wave,
B0 = 510 nT = 510 \(\times\)10-9 T
Speed of light in a vacuum, c = 3 × 108 m/s
Amplitude of electric field of the electromagnetic wave is given by the relation,
E = cB0
= 3 × 108 × 510 × 10−9 = 153 N/C
Therefore, the electric field part of the wave is 153 N/C.
7.
f1=7.5×106 Hz
f2=12×106 Hz
λ1=c/f1=40 m
λ2=c/f2=25 m
So the range is 40m to 25m
8.
Using Eq, the magnitude of B is
\(B=\frac { E }{ c } \)
\(=\frac { 6.3V/m }{ 3\times { 10 }^{ 8 }m/s } =2.1\times { 10 }^{ -8 }T\)
To find the direction, we note that E is along y-direction and the wave propagates along x-axis. Therefore, B should be in a direction perpendicular to both x- and y-axes. Using vector algebra, E × B should be along x-direction.
Since, \((+\overrightarrow{\mathbf{j}}) \times(+\hat{\mathbf{k}})=\overrightarrow{\mathbf{i}}, \mathbf{B}\) is along the z-direction.
Thus, \(\mathbf{B}=2.1 \times 10^{-8} \hat{\mathbf{k}} \mathrm{T}\)
9.
It is given that a plane electromagnetic wave travels in vacuum along z-direction and the frequency of the electromagnetic wave is 30MHz.
We can say that electric field and magnetic field will be in x-plane because the electromagnetic wave travels along the z-direction and both fields are mutually perpendicular to each other.
The formula of the wavelength of a wave is,
λ=c/ν
Substitute the values in the above expression,
λ=(3×108)/(30×106)=10m.
Thus, the value of wavelength is 10 m and the direction of electric and magnetic fields will be in x-y plane.
10.
(a) \(\lambda =\frac { c }{ v } =\frac { 3\times 10^{ 8 } }{ 2.0\times 10^{ 10 } } \)
\( =1.5\times 10^{ -2 }m\)
\(E=48Vm^{ -1 }\)
(b) \({ B }_{ 0 }=\frac { E_{ 0 } }{ c } =\frac { 48 }{ 3\times { 10 }^{ 8 } }\)
or \({ B }_{ 0 }=1.6\times 10^{ -7 } \ T\)
(c) Energy density in E field,
\({ U }_{ E }=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \varepsilon _{ 0 }{ E }^{ 2 }\)
Energy density in B field,
\({ U }_{ B }=\frac { 1 }{ 2\mu _{ 0 } } B^{ 2 }\)
Using \(E=cB\) and \(c=\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { \mu _{ 0 }\varepsilon _{ 0 } } } ,\)
We find \({ U }_{ E }={ U }_{ B }\).
11.
Eye is most sensitive to the light of wavelength \(\lambda=5600 \dot{A}\)
\(
T=\frac{1}{v}=\frac{\lambda}{c}=\frac{5600 \times 10^{-10}}{3 \times 10^8} \\
=1.87 \times 10^{-15} \mathrm{~s}
\)
12.
Radio waves, microwaves, UV rays, X-rays,
13.
Ratio = 1; because of the velocity of both the wave. length in a vacuum is same \(\left(=3 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\right)\)
14.
Pressure exerted by reflected wave on the surface is
\(P=\frac{2 l}{c}=\frac{2 \times 1}{3 \times 10^8}=6.67 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}^2\)
15.
Time taken by laser beam to move through a distance 90 cm is
\(t=\frac{90}{c}=\frac{90 \mathrm{~cm}}{3 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}}=3 \times 10^9 \mathrm{~s}\)
The energy contained in 90 cm length of laser beam is
\(
U=p t p(10 \mathrm{~mW}) \times\left(3 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~s}\right) \\
=\left(10 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{Js}^{-1}\right) \times\left(3 \times 10^{-9} \mathrm{~s}\right) \\
=30 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{~J}
\)

18.
Electric flux through plates of capacitor, \(\phi_E=\frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}\).
where, charge, q= constant (as the capacitor is fully charged)
Displacement current, \(I_d=\varepsilon_0 \frac{d \phi_E}{d t}=\varepsilon_0 \frac{d\left(\frac{q}{\varepsilon_0}\right)}{d t}=0\)
Conduction current, \(I_c=C \frac{d V}{d t}=0\) (as voltage becomes constant when the capacitor becomes fully charged).
19.
The quantity \(\epsilon_0 \frac{d \phi_E}{d t}\) has the dimension of current and this current exists in a region between the two plates of the capacitor when a displacement of charges occurs there. i.e., during charging and discharging of the capacitor.
20.
No, the displacement current also produces magnetic field between two plates of capacitor during charging and discharging of capacitor
21.
conduction current is due to flow of electrons in the circuit. It exists even if the flow of electrons is at uniform rate. Displacement current is due to the time-varying electric field. It does not exist under steady condition.
22.

\(\therefore\left[\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_{0} E^{2}\right]=\frac{\mathrm{ML}^{2} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}}{\mathrm{~L}^{3}}=\left[\mathrm{ML}^{-1} \mathrm{~T}^{-2}\right]\)
(ii) (b): \(\text { As } \varepsilon_{0}=\frac{q_{1} q_{2}}{4 \pi F R^{2}}(\text { from Coulomb's law) }\)
