MCQ
Consider an electromagnetic wave propagating in vacuum. Choose the correct statement:
- AFor an electromagnetic wave propagating in +y direction the 1 A electric field is $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\text{E}_\text{yz}(\text{x,t})\hat{\text{z}}$ and the magnetic field is $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\text{B}_\text{z}(\text{x,t})\hat{\text{y}}$
- BFor an electromagnetic wave propagating in +y direction the electric field is $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\text{E}_\text{yz}(\text{x,t})\hat{\text{y}}$ and the magnetic field is $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\text{B}_\text{z}(\text{x,t})\hat{\text{z}}$
- CFor an electromagnetic wave propagating in +x direction the electric field is $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\text{E}_\text{yz}(\text{y,z,t})(\hat{\text{y}}+\hat{\text{z}})$ and the magnetic field is $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\text{E}_\text{yz}(\text{x,t})(\hat{\text{y}}+\hat{\text{z}})$
- DFor an electromagnetic wave propagating in +x direction the electric field is $\overrightarrow{\text{E}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\text{E}_\text{yz}(\text{x,t})(\hat{\text{y}}-\hat{\text{z}})$ and the magnetic field is $\overrightarrow{\text{B}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\text{E}_\text{yz}(\text{x,t})(\hat{\text{y}}+\hat{\text{z}})$
