Electromagnetic waves consist of periodically oscillating electric and magnetic vectors:

  • A
    in mutually perpendicular planes but vibrating with a phase difference of $\pi$.
  • B
    in mutually perpendicular planes but vibrating with a phase difference of $\frac{\pi}{2}$.
  • C
    in randomly oriented planes but vibrating in phase.
  • D
    in mutually perpendicular planes but vibrating in phase.
