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
The plane electromagnetic wave is propagating along the X-direction. As the electric and magnetic field vectors `vecE and vecB` are perpendicular to each other and also to the direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave, `vecE and vecB` be along Y and Z-direction.
Hence, options (b) and (d) are possible pairs.
