MCQ (Multiple Choice Questions)

Ans. 1: (c)
Solution: Let charge per unit length be λ , hence I = λ u in z-direction.

E = − k × B = − ⎡⎣ kyˆ × B0 sin ( ky − ω t ) zˆ ⎤⎦
k k
= −cB0 sin ( ky − ωt ) xˆ = − E0 sin ( ky − ωt ) xˆ

Ans. 5: (b)
r
Solution: E1 ( r , t ) = E0 ( xˆ + iyˆ ) [ cos ( kz − ωt ) + i sin ( kz − ωt )]

Real part = E0 [ cos ( kz − ωt ) xˆ − sin ( kz − ωt ) yˆ ]

E x = E0 cos ( kz − ωt ) , E y = − E0 sin ( kz − ωt ) ⇒ E x2 + E y2 = E02 (Circular polarization)

Ans. 6: (d)
Solution: Ex = E1 cos (ωt − kz ) , E y = E2 sin (ωt − kz ) .

Thus resultant is elliptically polarized wave.

At z = 0, Ex = E1 cos (ωt ) , E y = E2 sin (ωt )

π
When ωt = 0, Ex = E1 , E y = 0 and when ωt = , Ex = 0, E y = E2
