How are the magnitudes of the electric and magnetic fields related to velocity of the em wave? Share with your friends Share 0 Zafar answered this For an electromagnetic wave electric and magnetic field is given by EX=EOSIN(Kz-ωt) BY=BOSIN(Kz-ωt)where k is related to wavelengthλ as k=2πλit is also seen from maxwell's equations that the magnitude of electric and magnetic fields in an electromagnetic wave are related as BO=EOCWHERE C IS THE SPEED OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE IN VACCUM 2 View Full Answer
