Question

According to the Maxwell's electromagnetic wave theory, light consists of electric and magnetic fields which are -

• A. parallel to each other.
• B. perpendicular to each other.
• C. inclined at an angle of ${45}^{\circ }$ to each other.
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B perpendicular to each other.
