The electric and the 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
Propagation direction = `vecE xx vec B`
`implies (hatk)= (hati xx hatj)`
