Current Electricity

Question
CBSEENPH12038078

Suppose that the electric field part of an electromagnetic wave in vacuum is E = {(3.1 N/C) cos [(1.8 rad/m) y + (5.4 × 106 rad/s)t]}i^.  What is the direction of propagation?

Solution

Given,
Electric field, E = {(3.1 N/C) cos [(1.8 rad/m) y + (5.4 × 106 rad/s)t]}i^. 

The wave is propagating along negative y direction i.e.,  along - j^.
