The electric and magnetic field, associated with an e.m. wave, propagating along the `+z` axis, can be represented by

A

`vecE=E_(0)hatj, vecB=B_(0)hatk`

B

`vecE=E_(0)hati, vecB=B_(0)hatj`

C

`vecE=E_(0)hatk, vecB=B_(0)hati`

D

`vecE=E_(0)hatj, vecB=B_(0)hati`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

As e.m. wave is propagating along the `+z` axis, `vecE` must be along `+x` axis and `vecB` along `+y` axis.
Hence `vecE=E_(0)hati, vecB=B_(0)hatj`.
