    The electric and the magnetic field, associated with an electromagnetic wave, propagating along the +z-axis, can be represented by

    A) \[[\mathbf{E}={{E}_{0}}\mathbf{\hat{k}},\mathbf{B}={{B}_{0}}\mathbf{\hat{i}}]\]         

    B) \[[\mathbf{E}={{E}_{0}}\mathbf{\hat{j}}\,,\mathbf{B}={{B}_{0}}\mathbf{\hat{j}}\,]\]   

    C) \[[\mathbf{E}={{E}_{0}}\mathbf{\hat{j}}\,,\mathbf{B}={{B}_{0}}\mathbf{\hat{k}}\,]\]  

    D) \[[\mathbf{E}={{E}_{0}}\mathbf{\hat{i}}\,,\mathbf{B}={{B}_{0}}\mathbf{\hat{j}}\,]\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[\mu =\mathbf{E}\times \mathbf{B}\]\[={{E}_{0}}\,\mathbf{\hat{i}}+{{B}_{0}}\,\mathbf{\hat{j}}={{E}_{0}}{{B}_{0}}\,\mathbf{\hat{k}}\] \[\mathbf{E}\,\times \mathbf{B}\]points in the direction of wave propagation.
