- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
Given electric field
Since the phase is , the wave propagates in the direction.
-
Relation between , , and direction of propagation
For a plane electromagnetic wave in vacuum,
where is the unit vector in the direction of propagation.
Here,
so
-
Compute the cross product
Substitute :
Using
therefore,
Hence,
-
Match with options
This corresponds to Option D.
-
Check with stored answer
Stored correct answer: D
Derived answer: D
They match.
