AIPMT Prelims 2011 Physics Properties of Electromagnetic Waves MCQ Question with Solution

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

A

[E = E₀ĵ, B = B₀k̂]

B

[E = E₀î, B = B₀ĵ]

C

[E = E₀k̂, B = B₀î]

D

[E = E₀ĵ, B = B₀î]

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

In an electromagnetic wave propagating along the +z-axis, the electric field $\vec{E}$ and the magnetic field $\vec{B}$ are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation.
