The electric and magnetic fields associated with an electromagnetic wave propagating along the $Z$-axis can be represented by:

  • A
    $\vec{E} = E_0 \hat{i}, \vec{B} = B_0 \hat{j}$
  • B
    $\vec{E} = E_0 \hat{k}, \vec{B} = B_0 \hat{i}$
  • C
    $\vec{E} = E_0 \hat{j}, \vec{B} = B_0 \hat{i}$
  • D
    $\vec{E} = E_0 \hat{j}, \vec{B} = B_0 \hat{k}$
