A wave travelling in the positive z direction with its electric field along x has its magnetic field along

  • A.y
  • B.z
  • C.x
  • D.the negative x direction

Answer: A

The three vectors form a right-handed set in the order electric field, magnetic field, direction of propagation, so the magnetic field must lie along the remaining axis. Reversing the direction of travel would reverse the magnetic field while leaving the electric field alone.
