The direction of the propagation of the electromagnetic wave is (a) perpendicular to E and B and out of plane of the paper

Question

The diagram below shows the electric field (E) and magnetic field (B) components of an electromagnetic wave at a certain time and location.

The direction of the propagation of the electromagnetic wave is

(a) perpendicular to E and B and out of plane of the paper

(b) perpendicular to E and B and into the plane of the paper

(c) parallel and in the same direction as E

(d) parallel and in the same direction as B

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) perpendicular to E and B and out of plane of the paper

The direction of the propagation of the electron wave is perpendicular to E and B and out of plane of the paper.

Answer 2

Correct option is (a) perpendicular to E and B and out of plane of the paper
