Show Answer
Solution:
- Given,
From the given equation, it can be said that the electromagnetic wave is propagating negative
Equation of associated electric field will be
where,
So,
Since, we know that for an electromagnetic wave,
So,
From the given options, when
Also, when
But, we also know that the direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave is perpendicular to both
Again, when
and when
But, it is been given in the question that the direction of propagation of wave is in
Thus, associated electric field will be
