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 : $E _0=66 Vm ^{-1}, E _y=66 \cos \omega\left(t-\frac{x}{c}\right)$,
$\lambda=3 mm=3 \times 10^{-3} m, k=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}$
$\frac{\omega}{k}=c \Rightarrow \omega=ck=3 \times 10^8 \times \frac{2 \pi}{3 \times 10^{-3}}$
$\text { or } \omega=2 \pi \times 10^{11}$
$\therefore E _{ y }=66 \cos 2 \pi \times 10^{11}\left(t-\frac{x}{c}\right)$
$B _{ z }=\frac{E_y}{c}=\left(\frac{66}{3 \times 10^8}\right) \cos 2 \pi \times 10^{11}\left(t-\frac{x}{c}\right)$
$=2.2 \times 10^{-7} \cos 2 \pi \times 10^{11}\left(t-\frac{x}{c}\right)$

Refraction of light is the change in the path of light as it passes obliquely from one transparent medium to another medium. According to law of refraction $\frac{\sin\text{i}}{\sin\text{r}}=\ ^1\mu_2,$ where $^1\mu_2$ is called refractive index of second medium with respect to first medium. From refraction at a convex spherical surface, we have $\frac{\mu_2}{\text{v}}=\frac{\mu_1}{\text{u}}=\frac{\mu_2-\mu_1}{\text{R}}.$ Similarly from refraction at a concave spherical surface when object lies in the rarer medium, we have $\frac{\mu_2}{\text{v}}-\frac{\mu_1}{\text{u}}=\frac{\mu_2-\mu_1}{\text{R}}$ and when object lies in the denser medium, we have $\frac{\mu_1}{\text{v}}-\frac{\mu_2}{\text{u}}=\frac{\mu_1-\mu_2}{\text{R}}.$
