Answer:

A

 [tex]\lambda = 361.45 \ m[/tex]

B

[tex]k = 0.01739 \ rad/m[/tex]

C

 [tex]w = 5.22 *10^{6} \ rad/s[/tex]

D

[tex]E = 0.01446 \ N/C[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The frequency is [tex]f = 83 0 \ kHz = 830 *10^{3} \ Hz[/tex]

    The  magnetic field amplitude is  [tex]B = 4.82*10^{-11} \ T[/tex]

Generally wavelength is mathematically represented as

        [tex]\lambda = \frac{c}{f}[/tex]

where c is the speed of light with value  [tex]c = 3.0*10^{8} \ m/s[/tex]

     =>  [tex]\lambda = \frac{3.0*10^{8}}{ 830 *10^{3}}[/tex]

     =>  [tex]\lambda = 361.45 \ m[/tex]

Generally the wave number is mathematically represented as

        [tex]k = \frac{2 \pi }{\lambda }[/tex]

=>     [tex]k = \frac{2 * 3.142 }{ 361.45 }[/tex]

=>    [tex]k = 0.01739 \ rad/m[/tex]

Generally the angular frequency is mathematically represented as

     [tex]w = 2 * \pi * f[/tex]

=>  [tex]w = 2 * 3.142 * 830*10^{3}[/tex]

=>   [tex]w = 5.22 *10^{6} \ rad/s[/tex]

The the electric-field amplitude is mathematically represented as

     [tex]E = B * c[/tex]

=>    [tex]E = 4.82 *10^{-11} * 3.0*10^{8}[/tex]

=>     [tex]E = 0.01446 \ N/C[/tex]

   

This question involves the concepts of wavelength, frequency, wave number, and electric field.

a) The wavelength is "361.44 m".

b) The wave number is "0.0028 m⁻¹".

c) The angular frequency is "5.22 x 10⁶ rad/s".

d) The electric field amplitude is "0.0145 N/C".

a)

The wavelength can be given by the following formula:

[tex]c=f\lambda[/tex]

where,

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency = 830 KHz = 8.3 x 10⁵ Hz

λ = wavelength = ?

Therefore,

[tex]3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s=(8.3\ x\ 10^5\ Hz)\lambda\\\\\lambda=\frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{8.3\ x\ 10^5\ Hz}\\\\[/tex]

λ = 361.44 m

b)

The wave number can be given by the following formula:

[tex]wave\ number = \frac{1}{\lambda} = \frac{1}{361.44\ m}[/tex]

wave number = 0.0028 m⁻¹

c)

The angular frequency is given as follows:

[tex]\omega = 2\pi f = (2)(\pi)(8.3\ x\ 10^5\ Hz)[/tex]

ω = 5.22 x 10⁶ rad/s

d)

The electric field amplitude can be given by the following formula:

[tex]\frac{E}{B} = c\\\\c(B)=E\\\\E = (3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)(4.82\ x\ 10^{-11}\ T)\\[/tex]

E = 0.0145 N/C
