Question

The drawing shows an x, y, . coordinate system, A dircular loop of wire lies in the z, x plane and, when used with an LC tuned dircuit, detects an electromagnetic wave. the following situations would result in the detection of an electromagnetic wave? +x O The wave travels along the z axis, and its electric field oscillates along the y axis. The wave travels along the x axis, and its electric field oscillates along the y axis. The wave travels along the y axis, and its electric field oscillates along the z axis. The wave travels along the z axis, and its electric field oscillates along the x axis The wave travels along the y axis, and its electric field oscillates along the x axis.

Explanation / Answer

The wave travels along the z axis, and its electric field oscillates along the x axis.So the correct option is D.

Explanation

The wave can be detected when the magnetic field oscillates perpendicular to the circular loop. Thus from thr figure the magnetic field is along the y-axis.The loop is in zx-plane the electric field is perpendicular to the magnetic field and hence the electric field is along the x-axis.

The electromagnetic wave propagates perpendicular to both electric and magnetic fields. hence the wave propagates along Z-axis.
