Question

In an electromagnetic wave, at an instant and at a particular position, the electric field is along the negative z-axis and magnetic field is along the positive x-axis. Then the direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave is:

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Direction of propagation of the electromagnetic wave is along E → × B → Thus, n → = E - k ^ × B i ^ Therefore, n ^ = - k ^ × i ^ = - j ^
