= 10 cos(107 t + kx)
V/m, where t and x are in seconds and meters respectively. It can be inferred that
(1) the wavelength λ is 188.4 m;
(2) the wave number k is 0.33 rad/m
(3) the wave amplitude is 10 V/m
(4) the wave propagating along +x direction
Which one of the following statement is correct

Which one of the following statement is correct
Options
A.(3) and (4)
B.(1) and (2)
C.(2) and (3)
D.(1) and (3)
Solution
As given
E = 10 cos(107t + kx)
Comparing it with standard equation of e.m. wave,
E = E0 cos(ωt + kx)
Amplitude E0 = 10 V/n and ω = 107 rad/s
∵
or λ =
= 188.4 m
Also, c =
or k = 
The wave is propagating along y direction.
