A plane electromagnetic wave travels in vacuum along z-direction. Then which of the following statements is true for the electric and magnetic field vector?
For a plane electromagnetic wave traveling in vacuum along the z-direction:
• The electric field vector (E) is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation (z-axis), say along x-axis.
• The magnetic field vector (B or H) is also perpendicular to the direction of propagation but lies along the y-axis.
• Thus, E ⊥ B ⊥ direction of propagation.
