In an electromagnetic wave,the electric field vector and magnetic field vector are given as $\vec{E} = E_{0} \hat{i}$ and $\vec{B} = B_{0} \hat{k}$ respectively. The direction of propagation of the electromagnetic wave is along:

  • A
    $\hat{j}$
  • B
    $\hat{k}$
  • C
    $-\hat{k}$
  • D
    $-\hat{j}$
