The electric and magnetic field assiciated with an E.M. wave

The Electric And Magnetic Field Associated With An Em Wave Physics Question

The electric and magnetic field associated with an E.M. wave, propagating along the +z axis, can be represented by

Options

(a) [ E = E₀i, B = B₀j ]
(b) [E = E₀k, B = B₀j ]
(c) [E = E₀j, B = B₀i ]
(d) [E = E₀j, B = B₀k ]

Correct Answer:

[E = E₀i, B = B₀j]

Explanation:

E.M. waves always propagates in a direction perpendicular to both electric and magnetic fields. So, electric and magnetic fields should be along +x- and +Y- directions respectively. Therefore, option (a) is the correct option.
