Consider an electromagnetic wave propagating in vacuum. Choose the correct statement :
Multiple Choice Options
- A For an electromagnetic wave propagating in +x direction the electric field is E→=12Eyz(x,t)(y^−z^) and the magnetic field is B→=12Byz(x,t)(y^+z^)
- B For an electromagnetic wave propagating in +x direction the electric field is E→=12Eyz(y,z,t)(y^+z^) and the magnetic field is B→=12Byz(y,z,t)(y^+z^)
- C For an electromagnetic wave propagating in + y direction the electric field is E→=12Eyz(x,t)y^ and the magnetic field is B→=12Byz(x,t)z^
- D For an electromagnetic wave propagating in + y direction the electric field is E→=12Eyz(x,t)z^ and the magnetic field is B→=12Bz(x,t)y^
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
As wave is propagating in + x direction, then and should be function of and must be in y z plane.
