If the magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave is in the +x-direction and the electric field of the wave is in the +y direction, the wave is traveling in what direction? Explain your answer.

Explanation:

The direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave

is given by the direction of vector E x B where E is electrical field , B is magnetic field .

Given Electric field  = E i because it is along x axis

Magnetic field = Bj because it is along y axis

E x B = Ei x Bj

= EB k .

so direction of E  x B is along k direction or z  - axis so wave is propagating along z - axis .

the device is called “ rocket engine”
