NEET · Physics · STD 12 - 8. Electromagnetic waves

An em wave is propagating in a medium with a velocity \(\vec v =v\hat i.\) The instantaneous oscillating electric field of this em wave is along \(+y\) axis. Then the direction of oscillating magnetic field of the em wave will be along

  1. A \(- z\) direction
  2. B \(+ z \) direction
  3. C \(- x\)  direction
  4. D \(- y\)  direction
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(+ z \) direction

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Velocity of em wave in a medium is given by \(\vec{v}=\vec{E} \times \vec{B}\) \(\therefore \quad v \hat{i}=(E \hat{j}) \times(\vec{B})\)
