Electromagnetic WavesHard
Question
The electric and magnetic field, associated with an e.m. wave, propagating along the +z-axis, be represented by
Options
A.
B.
C.
D.
Solution
The electromagnetic wave is propagating along the +z axis
Since the electric and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.
Also,
gives the direction of the wave propagation.
∴
Since the electric and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.
Also,
gives the direction of the wave propagation. ∴
