Electromagnetic Waves

  1. The oscillating electric and magnetic field vectors of electromagnetic wave are oriented along
    1. the same direction and in phase
    2. ​the same direction but have a phase difference of 90º ​
    3. ​mutually perpendicular directions and are in phase ​
    4. mutually perpendicular directions but has a phase difference of 90º
Correct Option: C

​The direction of oscillations of E and B fields are perpendicular to each other as well as to the direction of propagation. So, electro-magnetic waves are transverse in nature. ​The electric and magnetic fields oscillate in same phase.
