For plane electromagnetic waves propagating in the positive $Z$-direction,the combination which gives the correct possible direction for $\vec{E}$ and $\vec{B}$ fields respectively is:

  • A
    $(-2 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j})$ and $(3 \hat{i}-2 \hat{j})$
  • B
    $(3 \hat{i}+4 \hat{j})$ and $(4 \hat{i}-3 \hat{j})$
  • C
    $(\hat{i}-2 \hat{j})$ and $(-2 \hat{i}-\hat{j})$
  • D
    $(-2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j})$ and $(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j})$
