The direction of electromagnetic wave is in the direction of

A

(A) `(vec(E ))/(vec(B))`

B

(B) `vec(E )xx vec(B)`

C

(C) `vec(B)xx vec(E )`

D

(D) `vec(B)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Taking the direction in consideration in the phenomenon of propagation of electromagnetic waves, `vec(E )_|_ vec(B)_|_ vec(v)` from the right hand screw rule.
`vec(E )xx vec(B)_|_ vec(v)`
`therefore` It becomes `vec(E )xx vec(B)= vec(v)`
