An electromagnetic wave has its electric and magnetic fields given by $\vec{E}(t) = \vec{E}_m \sin(kx - \omega t)$ and $\vec{B}(t) = \vec{B}_m \sin(kx - \omega t)$. If the directions of $\vec{E}_m$ and $\vec{B}_m$ are in the direction of $\hat{i} + \hat{j}$ and $\hat{i} - \hat{j}$ respectively,the unit vector that gives the direction of propagation of the wave is:
