Step-by-step solution
The direction of propagation of an electromagnetic wave is given by the direction of the vector E B . (A) E along + j , B along + k : Direction is j k = i ( +x -direction). Matches with (I). (B) E along - j , B along + k : Direction is (- j ) k = - i ( -x -direction). Matches with (II). (C) E along + k , B along - i : Direction is k (- i ) = - j ( -y -direction). Matches with (IV). (D) E along + i , B along - k : Direction is i (- k ) = j ( +y -direction). Matches with (III). Therefore, the correct matching is (A)-
