Question

Which of the following statements is correct about electromagnetic wave?

• A. The oscillating electric and magnetic fields produced by oscillating charged particles are not perpendicular to each other but both are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave
• B. The oscillating electric and magnetic fields produced by oscillating charged particles are perpendicular to each other and both are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
• C. The oscillating electric and magnetic fields produced by oscillating charged particles are perpendicular to each other but both are not perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave
• D. The oscillating electric and magnetic fields produced by oscillating charged particles are not perpendicular to each other and both are not perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

Answer 1

The correct option is B The oscillating electric and magnetic fields produced by oscillating charged particles are perpendicular to each other and both are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

The oscillating electric and magnetic fields produced by oscillating charged particles are perpendicular to each other and both are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
