A plane electromagnectic wave propagating along x-direction can have the following pairs of `E` and `B`.

A

`E_(x') B_(y)`

B

`E_(y)'B_(z)`

C

`b_(X')E_(y)`

D

`E_(z') B_(y)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, D

As electric and magnetic field vector E and B are perpendicular to each other as well as perpendicular to the direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave.
Here in the question electromagnetic wave is propagating along x-direction .So, electric and magnetic field vector should have either y- direction or z- direction.
