Q. The electric field of an electromagnetic wave is given by 𝐸⃗→ = 3 sin(𝑘𝑧 − 𝜔𝑡) 𝑥̂ + 4 cos(𝑘𝑧 − 𝜔𝑡) 𝑦̂. The wave is
(C) elliptically polarized in clockwise direction when seen travelling towards the observer
(D) elliptically polarized in counter-clockwise direction when seen travelling towards the observer
Ans: elliptically polarized in counter-clockwise direction when seen travelling towards the
observer
Sol:
