From the following diagram, determine the direction of propagation of an electromagnetic wave.

- A In the direction of electric field
- B In the direction of magnetic field
- C Inward to the plane of paper
- D Outward from the plane of paper
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) Inward to the plane of paper
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Direction of propagation: \(\vec{k} \propto \vec{E} \times \vec{B}\) Applying the right-hand rule to the electric and magnetic fields from the diagram, the direction of propagation is Inward to the plane of paper.

Theory of Evolution
The evolution of life is a gradual process through which simple organisms are transformed into complex life forms over billions of years. It involves genetic changes, adaptation to the environment, and the emergence of diversity in species. Fossil records provide evidence of extinct life forms and transitional stages. Evolution is influenced by factors such as mutation, genetic recombination, and environmental pressure, shaping the biodiversity we see today. Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace were pioneering naturalists who developed the theory of evolution by natural selection.
Alfred Russel Wallace, a naturalist, arrived at conclusions similar to Darwin while working in:CUET 2025 Hard - For finding absolute maximum and minimum values of a function \(f\) given by
