The electric field part of an electromagnetic wave in a medium is represented by:
$E_x = 0;$
$E_y = 2.5 \, \text{N/C} \cos \left[ \left( 2\pi \times 10^6 \, \text{rad/s} \right) t - \left( \pi \times 10^{-2} \, \text{rad/m} \right) x \right];$
$E_z = 0.$
The wave is:

  • A
    moving along $X$-direction with frequency $10^6 \, \text{Hz}$ and wavelength $100 \, \text{m}$
  • B
    moving along $X$-direction with frequency $10^6 \, \text{Hz}$ and wavelength $200 \, \text{m}$
  • C
    moving along $-X$-direction with frequency $10^6 \, \text{Hz}$ and wavelength $200 \, \text{m}$
  • D
    moving along $Y$-direction with frequency $2\pi \times 10^6 \, \text{Hz}$ and wavelength $200 \, \text{m}$
