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

`vecE`

B

`vecB`

C

`vecB xx vecE`

D

`vecE xx vecB`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The direction of propagation an electromagnetic wave is perpendicular to both the electric field vector ` vecE ` and the magnetic field vector ` vecB ` . It is in the direction of ` vecE xx vecB `
