NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12
Consider a diagram showing a plane electromagnetic wave propagating in the x-direction, with electric field along the y-axis and magnetic field along the z-axis. Which of the following correctly represents the direction of propagation and orientation of the fields?
A
E along y, B along z, propagation along x
B
E along z, B along y, propagation along x
C
E along x, B along y, propagation along z
D
E along y, B along x, propagation along z
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, in a plane electromagnetic wave, the electric field is perpendicular to the magnetic field , and both are perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation. Here, is along y, is along z, and the wave propagates along x.
