Statement-1: In an em wave, the direction of the magnetic field induction `vecB` is parallel to the electric field `vecE`.
Statement-2: Electric field `vecE` and magnetic field vector `vecB`, have the same frequency.

A

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true, Statement-2 is a correct explanation of Statement-1.

B

Statement-1 is true, Statement-2 is true, Statement-2 is not correct explanation of Statement-1.

C

Statement-1 is true, Statement -2 is false.

D

Statement-1 is false, Statement -2 is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
In e.m. wave, the direction of `vecB` is
perpendicular to `vecE`. Hence, Statement -1 is wrong
but Statement -2 is true.
