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:

When an $EM$ wave propagates through a vacuum,then:

All electromagnetic waves transport energy in the negative $z$ direction. At a certain point and time,the direction of the electric field of the wave is along the positive $y$ direction. What will be the direction of the magnetic field of the wave at that point and instant?

If an electromagnetic wave propagating through vacuum is described by $E_y = E_0 \sin(kx - \omega t)$ and $B_z = B_0 \sin(kx - \omega t)$,then:
