The electric field carries the same mount of energy as the magnetic field

The frequency of the magnetic field is the same as the frequency of the electric field.

Explanation:

Let's analyze each option in detail:

The electric and magnetic fields have equal amplitudes. --> FALSE. In fact, the amplitudes of the electric and magnetic field are related by the equation:

E=cB

where

E is the amplitude of the electric field

B is the amplitude of the magnetic field

c is the speed of light

Therefore, from the equation we see that the amplitude of the electric field is much larger than that of the magnetic field.

The electric field carries the same mount of energy as the magnetic field. --> TRUE.

The energy carried by the electric field is:

$u_E = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2$

where $\epsilon_0$ is the vacuum permittivity.

The energy carried by the magnetic field is:

$u_B = \frac{1}{2\mu_0}B^2$

where $\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability.

Given the following relationship:

$c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon_0 \mu_0}}$

We can write

$E=cB=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon_0 \mu_0}}B$

$u_E = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 (\frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon_0 \mu_0}}B)^2=\frac{1}{2\mu_0}B^2$

which means u_E=u_B .

The electric field carries more energy than the magnetic field. --> FALSE, because in disagreement with the calculations above.

The frequency of the magnetic field is the same as the frequency of the electric field. --> TRUE. In an electromagnetic waves, electric field and magnetic field oscillate at the same frequency.

The frequency of the electric field is higher than the frequency of the magnetic field. --> FALSE, because in disagreement with the previous statement.

Answer from: Quest

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

$f\alpha \frac{dp}{dt}$

⇒ $f= k \frac{dp}{dt}$

here k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

$f=\frac{dp}{dt}$

$f= \frac{d[mv]}{dt}$

$f= m\frac{dv}{dt} +v\frac{dm}{dt}$

$f=ma+v\frac{dm}{dt}$ [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
