The magnetic field of a light wave at given time parallel to y-axis and is given by \( B = B_m \sin(kz - \omega t) \). In what direction does the wave travel and parallel to which axis does the associated electric field point at that time?
- A positive direction of z; y-axis
- B positive direction of z; x-axis
- C negative direction of z; y-axis
- D negative direction of z; x-axis
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) positive direction of z; x-axis
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Wave travels in the positive direction of z-axis because of \( (kz - \omega t) \). For electromagnetic waves, \( \vec{E}, \vec{B}, \vec{k} \) are mutually perpendicular, and \( \vec{E} \times \vec{B} \) is in the direction of propagation \( \vec{k} \). Given \( \vec{B} \) is…
