Q. Consider an electromagnetic wave propagating in vacuum. Choose the correct statement :

For an electromagnetic wave propagating in $+ y$ direction the electric field is $E = \frac{1}{2} E_{yz} (x, t) \overset{z}{^}$ and the magnetic field is $B = \frac{1}{2} B_{z} (x, t) \overset{y}{^}$

For an electromagnetic wave propagating in $+ y$ direction the electric field is $E = \frac{1}{2} E_{yz} (x, t) \overset{y}{^}$ and he magnetic field is $B = \frac{1}{2} B_{yz} (x, t) \overset{z}{^}$

For an electromagnetic wave propagating in $+ x$ direction the electric field is $E = \frac{1}{2} E_{yz} (y, z, t) (\overset{y}{^} + \overset{z}{^})$ and the magnetic field is $B = \frac{1}{2} B_{yz} (y, z, t) (\overset{y}{^} + \overset{z}{^})$

For an electromagnetic wave propagating in $+ x$ direction the electric field is $E = \frac{1}{2} E_{yz} (x, t) (\overset{y}{^} - \overset{z}{^})$ and eh magnetic field is $B = \frac{1}{2} B_{yz} (x, t) (\overset{y}{^} + \overset{z}{^})$

If wave is propagating in $x$ direction, $E & B$ must be functions of $(x, t) &$ must be in $y - z$ plane.
