If E and B represent electric and magnet...

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

A

`vec(E)`

B

`vec(B)`

C

`vec(B) xx vec(E)`

D

`vec(E) xx vec(B)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

The direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave is perpendicular to both electric field vector `vec(E)` and magnetic field vector `vec(B)` i.e., in the direction of `vec(E) xx vec(B)`.
