Question 1: EM waves

Question

The electric and the magnetic field associated with an E.M. wave, propagating along the $$\mathrm{Z}$$-axis can be represented by

Accepted Answer

The direction of propagation of EM waves is always perpendicular to both the electric and magnetic fields. Therefore, $$+v e~ x$$ and $$+v e~ y$$ directions should be the directions of the electric and magnetic fields, respectively.

Answer

$$\left(\mathbf{E}=E_0 \hat{\mathbf{i}}, \mathbf{B}=B_0 \hat{\mathbf{j}}\right)$$

Answer

$$\left(\mathbf{E}=E_0 \hat{k}, \mathbf{B}=B_0 \hat{\mathbf{i}}\right)$$

Answer

$$\left(\mathbf{E}=E_0 \hat{\mathbf{j}}, \mathbf{B}=B_0 \hat{\mathbf{i}}\right)$$

Answer

$$\left(\mathrm{E}=E_0 \hat{\mathrm{j}}, \mathrm{B}=B_0 \hat{\mathrm{k}}\right)$$
