Sagot :
When the magnetic field is heading west and the electric field is pointing up, the wave propagation will be in the north.
How do we find out the direction of wave propagation?
Electromagnetic waves (EM-waves), as we are aware, are transverse. Electric and magnetic fields are both perpendicular to one another in EM waves (E⊥B).
Transverse waves are waves in which the propagation direction is opposite the direction of amplitude. for instance, gravitational waves, light waves, and water waves.
In this instance, the magnetic field is heading west while the electric current is pointing up towards the screen's layout.
∴ E x B = κ
where E= the direction of the electric field,
B = the direction of the magnetic field,
κ = at a particular point, the direction of propagation
The aforementioned equation is right-handed. When we put our finger towards ourselves (away from the screen) and curl it to the west, and the thumb will indicate the wave propagation direction ( north side ).
The propagation of waves in our instance is in the north direction.
