A plane electromagnetic wave propagates along the $+x$ direction in free space. The components of the electric field, $\vec{E}$ and magnetic field, $\vec{B}$ vectors associated with the wave in Cartesian frame are
  1. $\mathrm{E}_x, \mathrm{~B}_y$
  2. $\mathrm{E}_y, \mathrm{~B}_z$
  3. $\mathrm{E}_z, \mathrm{~B}_y$
  4. $\mathrm{E}_y, \mathrm{~B}_x$

Solution


Direction of propogation
$=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}$
