JEE MAIN - Physics (2023 - 29th January Evening Shift - No. 8)

Given below are two statements :

Statement I : Electromagnetic waves are not deflected by electric and magnetic field.

Statement II : The amplitude of electric field and the magnetic field in electromagnetic waves are related to each other as $${E_0} = \sqrt {{{{\mu _0}} \over {{\varepsilon _0}}}} {B_0}$$.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Statement I is true and Statement II is false
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Explanation

Statement I is correct as photon do not carry any charge, hence cannot feel force from either fields.

Statement II is wrong as $$E_0=cB_0$$

$${E_0} = {{{B_0}} \over {\sqrt {{\mu _0}{\varepsilon _0}} }}$$
