An electromagnetic wave travels

Question:

An electromagnetic wave travels in vacuum along z-direction:

$E=\left(E_{1} \hat{i}+E_{2} \hat{j}\right) \cos (k z-\omega t)$. Choose the correct options from the following:

(a) the associated magnetic field is given as

$B=\frac{1}{c}\left(E_{1} \hat{i}-E_{2} \hat{j}\right) \cos (k z-\omega t)$

(c) the given electromagnetic field is circularly polarised

 

(d) the given electromagnetic waves is plane polarised

Solution:

(a) the associated magnetic field is given as

$B=\frac{1}{c}\left(E_{1} \hat{i}-E_{2} \hat{j}\right) \cos (k z-\omega t)$

(d) the given electromagnetic waves is plane polarised
