Solution
The correct option is C moving along positive x direction with frequency 106Hz and wavelength 200 m The form of wave is EZ=E0(ωt−kx) which represents the direction of propagation of wave is positive x direction. Here , ω=2π×106⇒2πν=2π×106⇒ν=106Hz Also, k=2πλ⇒2πλ=π×10−2 ⇒λ=2ππ×10−2=2×102=200m.
