Question

Given below are two statements:
Statement I : Electromagnetic waves are not deflected by electric and magnetic field.
Statement II : The amplitude of electric field and the magnetic field in electromagnetic waves are related to each other as $E _0=\sqrt{\frac{\mu_0}{\varepsilon_0}} B _0$
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. Statement I is true but statement II is false
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
• C. Statement I is false but statement II is true
• D. Both Statement I and Statement II are false

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Statement-I is correct as EMW are neutral.
Statement-II is wrong.
$E _0=\sqrt{\frac{1}{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}} B_0$
