None of the above
Q. The electric portion of an electromagnetic wave traveling in vacuum can be written as Ey = 50 cos(2π × 10-15 t – 2π x) with Ez = Ex = 0, where t is measured in seconds. What is the frequency f of the electric field?


f = 10-15 Hz
f = 2π Hz
f = 50-15 Hz
Q. How may we express the speed of light c?


Q. Maxwell’s equations yield two separate equations for the electric and magnetic fields E and B. How fast are the E waves moving in comparison to the B waves?


They are both moving at the same speed c.
B waves are moving at the speed of E divided by c.
E waves are moving at the speed of B divided by c.
B waves are moving at the speed of E divided by the wave number k.
E waves are moving at the speed of B divided by the wave number k.

Solenoid circuit
RC circuit
No circuit creates an oscillating current.
LC circuit
