MCQ
Two waves having same velocity enter electric and magnetic fields respectively. If $\lambda_1$​ and $\lambda_2$​ are their wavelengths as they move in the fields, then.
  • A
    $\lambda_1,\lambda_2$ are constants
  • B
    $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are variable
  • C
    $\lambda_1$ is variable $\lambda_2$ is constant
  • D
    $\lambda_2$ is variable, $\lambda_1$ is constant

Answer

  1. $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are variable

Explanation:

Velocity of a wave is given by:

$\text{v}=\frac{\text{E}}{\text{B}}$

Hence wave velocity change in both the cases.

Frequency of the wave remains the same.

Using $\text{v}=\text{f}\lambda,$ it can be concluded that both $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are variable.
