TS EAMCET · Physics · Electromagnetic Waves

At an instant, a plane electromagnetic wave has its magnetic field in the direction of the vector \(\hat{\mathbf{i}}-\hat{\mathbf{j}}\) and its electric field is in the direction of \(\hat{\mathbf{i}}+\hat{\mathbf{j}}\). The wave is travelling along which direction?

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) -z-direction

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Direction of magnetic field, \(\hat{\mathbf{B}}=\hat{\mathbf{i}}-\hat{\mathbf{j}}\) Direction of electric field, \(\hat{\mathbf{E}}=\hat{\mathbf{i}}+\hat{\mathbf{j}}\) Direction of propagation of EM wave is given according to poynting vector as…
