An electromagnetic wave is propagating along the+z-axis. Direction of electric and the magnetic field of this wave can be represented by

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

The electromagnetic wave is propagating along the +z axis.
Since the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.

Also, E⁡ → × B⁡ → gives the direction of wave propagation.

E⁡ → = E⁡ 0 i⁡ ^ , B = B⁡ 0 j⁡ ^ ∵ i⁡ ^ × j⁡ ^ = k ^
