Question
Choose the correct answer from alternatives given.
If $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}$ and $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$ represent electric and magnetic field vectors of an electromagnetic wave, the direction of propagation of the wave is along.
✓

Answer

  1. $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}\times\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$
Explanation:
Electromagnet waves have electric field as well as magnetic field which are perpendicular to each other and the electromagnetic waves propagate in a direction
which is perpendicular to both the fields.
Thus the propagation vector of EM waves $\overrightarrow{\text{k}}=\overrightarrow{\text{E}}\times\overrightarrow{\text{B}}$
