All electromagnetic wave is transporting energy in the negative z direction. At a certain point and certain time the direction of electric field of the wave is along positive y direction. What will be the direction of the magnetic field of the wave at that point and instant?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
As, poynting vector
Given energy transport = negative z direction Electric field = positive y direction
Hence according to vector cross product magnetic field should be positive x direction.
