MCQ
When $EM$ wave propagates through vacuum then
  • A
    $E-$ field leads $B-$ field
  • B
    $E-$ field lags $B-$ field
  • $E-$ field and $B-$ field are in the same phase
  • D
    Energy is stored only in $E-$ field

Answer

Correct option: C.
$E-$ field and $B-$ field are in the same phase
c
In vacuum $E$ and $B$ are in the same in phase $EM$ waves.
