For the electromagnetic waves propagating in the X - direction, oscillation of `vec(E )` takes places along y - axis. What from the following is right ?

A

`E_(x)=E_(y)=0, E_(z)ne 0`

B

`E_(x)=E_(z)=0, E_(y)ne 0`

C

`E_(x)ne E_(y), E_(z)ne 0`

D

`E_(x)=E_(y)=E_(z)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
In Electromagnetic waves oscillation of `vec(E )` in y - axis `E_(y)ne 0, E_(x)=0, E_(z)=0`. So `E_(y)ne 0` and `E_(x)=E_(z)=0`.
