An em wave is propagating in a medium with a velocity $\overrightarrow{V}= V\hat{i}$. The instantaneous oscillating electric field of this em wave is along +y axis. Then the direction of oscillating magnetic field of the em wave will be along

–y direction
+z direction
–z direction
–x direction
Explanation:

$\overrightarrow{E}\times\overrightarrow{B}=\overrightarrow{V}$
$(\overrightarrow{E}\hat{j})\times(\overrightarrow{B})=\overrightarrow{V}\hat{i}$
So, $\overrightarrow{B}=B\hat{k}$
Direction of propagation is along +z direction.

Answer

An electron falls from rest through a vertical distance h in a uniform and vertically upward directed electric field E. The direction of electric field is now reversed, keeping its magnitude the same. A proton is allowed to fall from rest in it through the same vertical distance h. The time of fall of the electron, in comparison to the time of fall of the proton is

Answer

A tuning fork is used to produce resonance in a glass tube. The length of the air column in this tube can be adjusted by a variable piston. At room temperature of 27ºC two successive resonances are produced at 20 cm and 73 cm of column length. If the frequency of the tuning fork is 320 Hz, the velocity of sound in air at 27ºC is

A pendulum is hung from the roof of a sufficiently high building and is moving freely to and fro like a simple harmonic oscillator. The acceleration of the bob of the pendulum is $20 m/s^{2}$ at a distance of 5 m from the mean position. The time period of oscillation is

Answer

A metallic rod of mass per unit length 0.5 kg $m^{-1}$ is lying horizontally on a smooth inclined plane which makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. The rod is not allowed to slide down by flowing a current through it when a magnetic field of induction 0.25 T is acting on it in the vertical direction. The current flowing in the rod to keep it stationary is

Answer

A thin diamagnetic rod is placed vertically between the poles of an electromagnet. When the current in the electromagnet is switched on, then the diamagnetic rod is pushed up, out of the horizontal magnetic field. Hence the rod gains gravitational potential energy. The work required to do this comes from
