Question:medium
If the direction of electric and magnetic field vectors of a plane electromagnetic wave are along positive $y$ direction and positive $z$ direction respectively, then the direction of propagation of the wave is along
If the direction of electric and magnetic field vectors of a plane electromagnetic wave are along positive $y$ direction and positive $z$ direction respectively, then the direction of propagation of the wave is along
Show Hint
Use right-hand rule: $\vec{E} \times \vec{B}$ gives wave direction.
