NEET Solved Paper 2018 Question 18

Question: An em wave is propagating in a medium with a velocity $ \overrightarrow{{}v}=v\widehat{i} $ . The instantaneous oscillating electric field of this em wave is along $ \text{+y} $ axis. Then the direction of oscillating magnetic field of the em wave will be along [NEET - 2018]

Options:

A) -y direction

B) +z direction

C) -z direction

D) -x direction

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ \overrightarrow{{}E}\times \overrightarrow{{}B}=\overrightarrow{{}V} $ $ (E\overrightarrow{{}j})\times (\overrightarrow{{}B})=v\widehat{i} $

So, $ \overrightarrow{{}B}\text{=B}\widehat{k} $ Direction of propagation is along +z direction.
