Question

The magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave is described by the equation B (x,t) = B_0sin(kx + omegat)(j - k) In what direction is the wave propagating? 45degree with respect to the positive x-axis. -45degree with respect to the positive x-axis. +x -45degree with respect to the positive z-axis. 45degree with respect to the positive z-axis. -x Which of the following expressions correctly describes the electric field associated with this wave? E = c B_0 sin(kx-omegat)(j - k) E = c B_0 sin(kx+omegat)(-j + k) E = c B_0 sin(kx+omegat)(j - k) E = c B_0 sin(kx+omegat)(-j -k) E = c B_0 sin(kx+omegat)(j + k)

Explanation / Answer

-x direction

E=B cross K= (j - k) cross (-i) =k + j
