Answer:

The correct answer is B negative y-direction

Explanation:

An electromagnetic wave is created by the fluctuation of the electric and magnetic fields, which are perpendicular to each other, the direction of propagation is perpendicular to these two fields.

Let's apply the above to our problem, the wave propagates in the positive direction of the z-axis so that the electric and magnetic fields must be in the xy plane

They express that the electric field is in the negative direction of the x-axis, for the direction of the other field, we can make the vectoial product E x B with the result must be in positive z the only way is that the magnetic field (B) is in the negative direction of the y axis

The correct answer is B negative y-direction

Vika [28.1K]
Icy/Snowy roads have less friction than normal roads. This means that the wheels are less likely to stay positioned because of traction, and you will spin out of control

Why does the total amount of energy before and after any energy transformations remain the same?
Georgia [21]
The amount of energy before and after any energy transformations remain the same because energy cannot be created or destroyed. From the law conservation of energy; any time energy is transferred between two objects, or converted from one form into another, no energy is created and none is destroyed. The total amount of energy involved in the process remains the same.
