$A$ light wave is travelling along the $y$-direction. If the corresponding $\vec E$ vector at any time is along the $x$-axis,the direction of the $\vec B$ vector at that time is along:

  • A
    $y$-axis
  • B
    $x$-axis
  • C
    $+z$-axis
  • D
    $+z$-axis or $-z$-axis (based on the cross product,specifically $+z$-axis)
