MCQ
When $EM$ wave propagates through vacuum then
  • A
    $E-$ field leads $B-$ field
  • B
    $E-$ field lags $B-$ field
  • $E-$ field and $B-$ field are in the same phase
  • D
    Energy is stored only in $E-$ field

Answer

Correct option: C.
$E-$ field and $B-$ field are in the same phase
c
In vacuum $E$ and $B$ are in the same in phase $EM$ waves.

Two identical coherent sound sources $R$ and $S$ with frequency $f$ are $5 \,m$ apart. An observer standing equidistant from the source and at a perpendicular distance of $12 \,m$ from the line $R S$ hears maximum sound intensity.When he moves parallel to $R S$, the sound intensity varies and is a minimum when he comes directly in front of one of the two sources. Then, a possible value of $f$ is close to ............ $Hz$ (the speed of sound is $330 \,m / s$ )
