The following travelling electromagnetic wave E_ x =0, E_ y =E₀ (k x+ t), E_ z =-2 E₀ (k x- t) is-

Options

  1. Aelliptically polarized
  2. Bcircularly polarized
  3. Clinearly polarized
  4. Dunpolarized

Correct answer

B. circularly polarized

Step-by-step solution

From the equation of E_ y & E_ z it is evident that wave is circularly polarized.
