Correct answer: A
The question statement is incomplete: the field expressions for options A, B, C, and D are missing.
To determine which expressions are allowed for a plane electromagnetic wave propagating along the positive -direction, we must check the following conditions for each option:
-
Direction of propagation For a wave traveling along , the phase must be of the form (or any equivalent form such as inside sine/cosine).
-
Mutual perpendicularity The electric field and magnetic field must be perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation. Since propagation is along , both and must lie in the -plane.
-
Right-hand rule / Poynting vector direction The propagation direction is given by so we need
-
Magnitude relation For an electromagnetic wave,
-
Intensity relation If intensity is , then in vacuum
Because the actual expressions in options A, B, C, and D are not provided, it is impossible to verify which one satisfies all these conditions.
So, although the stored correct answer is marked as A, I cannot independently confirm it from the given data.
If you send the missing field expressions for options A–D, I can evaluate them one by one and give the final verified answer.
