For a plane electromagnetic wave propagating in x-direction, which one of the following combination gives the correct possible directions for electric field (E)(E) and magnetic field (B)(B) respectively?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
−j^+k^,−j^−k^- \widehat j + \widehat k, - \widehat j - \widehat k
Option D (−j^+k^,−j^−k^\widehat{-j} + \widehat{k}, \widehat{-j} - \widehat{k}) is correct because the cross product of the electric and magnetic field vectors results in a vector along the x-direction, which is the direction of propagation.
