If E and B represent electric and magnetic field vectors of the electromagnetic wave, then the direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave is along
A
E
B
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave is perpendicular to both electric field vector E and magnetic field vector B, i.e. in the direction of 
.
This can be seen by the diagram given below
Here, electromagnetic wave is along the z-direction which is given by the cross product of E and B.
