Question
A stationary charge produces only an electrostatic field while a charge in uniform motion produces a magnetic field, that does not change with time. An oscillating charge is an example of accelerating charge. It produces an oscillating magnetic field, which in turn produces an oscillating electric fields and so on. The oscillating electric and magnetic fields regenerate each other as a wave which propagates through space.

$(i)  \ (a) \vec{E}= B _0 c \sin ( kx +\omega t ) \hat{k} V / m$
Explanation: Given : $\vec{B}= B _0 \sin ( kx +\omega t ) \hat{j} T$
The relation between electric and magnetic field is, $c =\frac{E}{B}$ or $E = cB$
The electric field component is perpendicular to the direction of propagation and the direction of magnetic field. Therefore, the electric field component along $z-$axis is obtained as $\vec{E}= cB _0 \sin ( kx +\omega t ) \hat{k} V / m$
$(ii) \ (b) \frac{2 E_0}{c} \hat{j} \sin kz \sin \omega t$
Explanation: $\frac{d E}{d z}=-\frac{d B}{d t}$
$\frac{d E}{d z}=-2 E _0 k \sin kz \cos \omega t =-\frac{d B}{d t}$
$dB =+2 E _0 k \sin kz \cos \omega tdt$
$B =+2 E _0 k \sin kz \int \cos \omega tdt =+2 E _0 \frac{k}{\omega} \sin kz \sin \omega t$ $\frac{E_0}{B_0}=\frac{\omega}{k}=c$
$B =\frac{2 E_0}{c} \sin kz \sin \omega t \therefore \vec{B}=\frac{2 E_0}{c} \sin kz \sin \omega t \hat{j}$
$E$ is along $y$-direction and the wave propagates along $x$-axis.
$\therefore B$ should be in a direction perpendicular to both $x-$and $y-$axis.
$(iii) \ (c) 0.021 \mu T$
Explanation: Here, $E =6.3 \hat{j} ; c =3 \times 10^8 m / s$
The magnitude of $B$ is
$B_{Z}=\frac{E}{c}=\frac{6.3}{3 \times 10^8}=2.1 \times 10^{-8} T=0.021 \mu T$
OR
$(a) \ 3.1 \times 10^{-8} T$
Explanation: At a particular point, $E =9.3 V m ^{-1}$
$\therefore$ Magnetic field at the same point $=\frac{9.3}{3 \times 10^8}$
$=3.1 \times 10^{-8} T$
$(iv) \ (b) E_y=66 \cos 2 \pi \times 10^{11}\left(t-\frac{x}{c}\right), B_z=2.2 \times 10^{-7} \cos 2 \pi \times 10^{11}\left(t-\frac{x}{c}\right)$
Explanation: Here : $E _0=66 Vm ^{-1}, E _y=66 \cos \omega\left(t-\frac{x}{c}\right)$,
$\lambda=3 mm=3 \times 10^{-3} m, k=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}$
$\frac{\omega}{k}=c \Rightarrow \omega=ck=3 \times 10^8 \times \frac{2 \pi}{3 \times 10^{-3}}$
$\text { or } \omega=2 \pi \times 10^{11}$
$\therefore E _{ y }=66 \cos 2 \pi \times 10^{11}\left(t-\frac{x}{c}\right)$
$B _{ z }=\frac{E_y}{c}=\left(\frac{66}{3 \times 10^8}\right) \cos 2 \pi \times 10^{11}\left(t-\frac{x}{c}\right)$
$=2.2 \times 10^{-7} \cos 2 \pi \times 10^{11}\left(t-\frac{x}{c}\right)$

A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a force that is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field, the component of the velocity that is perpendicular to the magnetic field and the charge of the particle. This force is given by $\vec{\text{F}}=\text{q}(\vec{\text{v}}\times\vec{\text{B}})$ where q is the electric charge of the particle, v is the instantaneous velocity of the particle, and Bis the magnetic field (in tesla). The direction of force is determined by the rules of cross product of two vectors. Force is perpendicular to both velocity and magnetic field. Its direction is same as $\vec{\text{v}}\times\vec{\text{B}}$ if q is positive and opposite of $\vec{\text{v}}\times\vec{\text{B}}$ if q is negative. The force is always perpendicular to both the velocity of the particle and the magnetic field that created it. Because the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the motion, the magnetic field can do no work on an isolated charge. It can only do work indirectly, via the electric field generated by a changing magnetic field.

An astronomical telescope is an optical instrument which is used for observing distinct images of heavenly bodies libe stars, planets etc. It consists of two lenses. In normal adjustment of telescope, the final image is formed at infinity.
