Question

Which quantities appear in the equation for the magnetic field component of an electromagnetic wave?

Answer 1

Answer:

The speed of light (c)

Explanation:

The equation that relates the magnetic field component of an electromagnetic wave the the electric field component of the wave is:

$E=cB$

where

E is the magnitude of the electric field component

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field component

c is the speed of light in a vacuum, whose value is

$c=3.0 \cdot 10^8 m/s$

Re-arranging the equation to solve for B, we find:

$B=\frac{E}{c}$
