    Consider an electromagnetic wave propagating in vacuum. Choose the correct statement :   JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 10 April 2016)

    A) For an electromagnetic wave propagating in +y direction the electric field is \[\overrightarrow{E}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}{{E}_{yz}}\left( x,t \right)\hat{z}\]and the magnetic field is \[\overrightarrow{B}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}{{B}_{z}}\left( x,t \right)\hat{y}\]                

    B) For an electromagnetic wave propagating in +y direction the electric field is \[\overrightarrow{E}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}{{E}_{yz}}\left( x,t \right)\hat{y}\]and he magnetic field is\[\overrightarrow{B}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}{{B}_{yz}}\left( x,t \right)\hat{z}\]                

    C) For an electromagnetic wave propagating in +x direction the electric field is \[\overrightarrow{E}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}{{E}_{yz}}\left( y,z,t \right)\left( \hat{y}+\hat{z} \right)\]and the magnetic field is\[\overrightarrow{B}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}{{B}_{yz}}\left( y,z,t \right)\left( \hat{y}+\hat{z} \right)\]                

    D) For an electromagnetic wave propagating in +x direction the electric field is \[\overrightarrow{E}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}{{E}_{yz}}\left( x,t \right)\left( \hat{y}-\hat{z} \right)\]and eh magnetic field is \[B=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}{{B}_{yz}}\left( x,t \right)\left( \hat{y}+\hat{z} \right)\]                

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                 If wave is propagating in x direction, E must be functions of (x, t) & must be in y-z plane.
