In an electromagnetic wave,the electric field $\vec{E}$ and the magnetic field $\vec{B}$ oscillate in the region near the source as:

  • A
    Parallel to each other and in the same phase
  • B
    Perpendicular to each other and in the same phase
  • C
    Parallel to each other and with a phase difference of $\pi / 2$
  • D
    Perpendicular to each other and with a phase difference of $\pi / 2$
