Important Questions on Electromagnetic Waves
Assertion : Displacement current arises on account of change in electric flux.
Reason :

Assertion: Electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature.
Reason: The electric and magnetic fields of electromagnetic waves are perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.

Assertion : In an e.m. wave magnitude of magnetic field vector is much smaller than the magnitude of vector
Reason : This is because in an e.m. wave




The electric field of an electromagnetic wave in free space is given by where and are in seconds and metres respectively. It can be inferred that
(i) the wavelength is
(ii) the wave number is
(iii) the wave amplitude is
(iv) the wave is propagating along direction
