Explanation Given info: The direction for two quantity of the electromagnetic wave is given in the table is, Direction of propagation Direction of electric field Direction of magnetic field + x + y (a) + x (b) + y − y + z (c) (d) + z + y According to the right hand rule, if the forefinger of the right hand points toward the direction of the electric field ( E → ) and the fingers curls towards the direction of the magnetic field ( B → ), then the thumb points in the direction of the propagation of the wave. If the direction of propagation is + x direction and the electric field is + y direction then according to the right hand rule, direction of magnetic field is in the positive is in + z direction
