If `E` and `B` represent electric and magnetic field vectors of the electromagnetic wave, the direction of propagation of eletromagnetic wave is along.

A

`vecE`

B

`vecB`

C

`vecBxxvecE`

D

`vecExxvecB`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
The direction of propagation of e.m. wave is perpendicular to both electric field vector `vecE`
and magnetic field vector `vecB`, i.e., in the direction of `vecExxvecB`.
