A sinusoidal electromagnetic wave having a magnetic field of amplitude and awavelength of 432 nm is traveling in the direction through empty space. (a) What is the frequency of thiswave? (b) What is the amplitude of the associated electric field? (c) Write the equations for the electric and magnetic fields as functions of x and t in the form of Equations

I just have hard time finding the amplitude! the frequency will be c/wavelength

@mashy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We can find the frequency of the wave using \[c=\lambda f\] We can also find the amplitude of the electric field by using\[c=\frac{E}{B}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

With E and B being the maximum amplitudes of the electric and magnetic fields.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but I don't have E & B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's E& B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You should have the amplitude for B (It's worded like you do, but you don't put the actual numerical value)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah but do I convert it since its 125u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@wio I just wanna know if I have to convert 1.25u

OpenStudy (vincent-lyon.fr):

B's amplitude shoul be in teslas (T) to use the formula. It seems there is missing information in your original post, probably due to copy-paste problems.

OpenStudy (experimentx):

lol
