If `vec E` and `vec B` representelectric and magnetic field vectors of an electromagnetic wave, the direction of propagation of the wave is along

A

`vec(E )`

B

`vec(B)`

C

`vec(E )xx vec(B)`

D

`vec(B)xx vec(E )`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

According to electromagnetic wave property, the electric field is perpendicular to the magnetic field. The direction of electromagnetic wave propagation will perpendicular to E and B then `E xx B = C`
