If E ? and B ? are the electric and magnetic field vectors of electromagnetic waves then the direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave is along the direction of – 1) E ? (2) B ? (3) E ? × B ? (4) 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
Electromagnetic wave is produced by oscillating electric and magnetic fields $E^{-}$ and $B^{-}$. Choose only the incorrect statement from the following (A) $\mathrm{E}^{-}$ is perpendicular to $\mathrm{B}^{-}$. (B) $E^{-}$ is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave (C) $\mathrm{B}^{-}$ is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave (D) $E^{-}$ is parallel to $\mathrm{B}^{-}$
