Which of the following statement is false for the properties of electromagnetic waves?

Options

  1. ABoth electric and magnetic field vectors attain the maxima and minima at the same place and same time
  2. BThe energy in electromagnetic wave is divided equally between electric and magnetic vectors
  3. CBoth electric and magnetic field vectors are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave
  4. DThese waves do not require any material medium for propagation

Correct answer

C. Both electric and magnetic field vectors are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave

Step-by-step solution

The time varying electric and magnetic fields are mutually perpendicular to each other and also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.
