प्रश्न
Which of the following have zero average value in a plane electromagnetic wave?
(a) Electric field
(b) Magnetic field
(c) Electric energy
(d) Magnetic energy
उत्तर
(a) Electric field
(b) Magnetic field
In a plane electromagnetic wave, the electric and the magnetic fields oscillate sinusoidally. For an electromagnetic wave propagating in the z-direction, the electric and magnetic fields are given by:
Ex = E0 sin (kz – ωt)
By = B0 sin (kz – ωt)
These are sinusoidal functions. Therefore, for a fixed value of z, the average value of the electric and magnetic fields are zero.

An EM wave of intensity I falls on a surface kept in vacuum and exerts radiation pressure p on it. Which of the following are true?
- Radiation pressure is `I/c` if the wave is totally absorbed.
- Radiation pressure is `I/c` if the wave is totally reflected.
- Radiation pressure is `(2I)/c` if the wave is totally reflected.
- Radiation pressure is in the range `I/c < p < (2I)/c` for real surfaces.
Even though an electric field E exerts a force qE on a charged particle yet the electric field of an EM wave does not contribute to the radiation pressure (but transfers energy). Explain.
