If $\vec{E}$ and $\vec{B}$ are the electric and magnetic field vectors of electromagnetic waves, then the direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave is along the direction of (a) $\vec{E}$ (b) $\vec{B}$ (c) $\vec{E} \times \vec{B}$ (d) none of these
What is the direction of $\mathrm{E}^{-} \times \mathrm{B}^{-}$ in an electromagnetic wave? (A) same as that of $E^{-}$ (B) same as that of $\mathrm{B}^{-}$ (C) same as the direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave (D) none of these
An electromagnetic wave in vacuum has the electric and magnetic fields $\mathbf{E}$ and $\mathbf{B}$, which are mutually perpendicular to each other. The direction of polarization is , given by $\mathbf{X}$ and that of wave propagation by $\mathbf{k}$, then \mathrm{\{} I A I E E E ~ 2 0 1 2 ] ~ (a) $\mathbf{X} \| \mathbf{B}$ and $\mathbf{\mathbf { k }} \| \mathbf{B} \times \mathbf{E}$ (b) $\mathbf{X} \| \mathbf{E}$ and $\hat{\mathbf{k}} \| \mathbf{E} \times \mathbf{B}$ (c) $\mathbf{X} \| \mathbf{E}$ and $\hat{\mathbf{k}} \| \mathbf{E} \times \mathbf{B}$ (d) $\mathbf{X} \| \mathbf{E}$ and $\hat{\mathbf{k}} \| \mathbf{B} \times \mathbf{E}$
