Detailed Solution

Here, in electromagnetic wave, the electric field vector is given as, E=E1i^+E2j^ cos(kz-ωt)

In electromagnetic wave, the associated magnetic field vector,

B^=c^×E^    =k^×E1i^+E2j^E12+E22    =E1j^-E2i^E12+E22

|B|=|E|c B=E1j^-E2i^c cos(kz-ωt)

E and B are perpendicular to each other and the propagation of electromagnetic wave is perpendicular to E as well as B. Here, E and B are confined in xy-plane and are mutually perpendicular and propagating in z-direction. The given electromagnetic wave is plane polarised.
