MCQ
Light wave is travelling along $y-$ direction. If the corresponding $\vec E$ vector at any time is along the $x-$ axis, the direction of $\vec B$ vector at that time is along
  • A
    $y-$ axis
  • B
    $x-$ axis
  • $+z -$ axis
  • D
    $-\,z-$ axis

Answer

Correct option: C.
$+z -$ axis
c
Light wave is an electromagnetic wave in which $\vec E$ and $\vec B$ are at right angles to each other as well as at right angles to the direction of wave propagation.
