In the propagation of electromagnetic waves the angle between the direction of propagation and plane of polarisation is

A

`0^(@)`

B

`90^(@)`

C

`45^(@)`

D

`80^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Plane of vibration is perpendicular to the direction of propagation and also perpendicular to plane of polarisation. Thus, the angle between plane of polarisation and direction of vibration is `0^(@)` i.e. they are parallel.
