Homework Statement
A plane electromagnetic wave, which is polarized in the positive y-direction, propagates in the negative z-direction. What is the direction of the magnetic field of this wave?
Homework Equations
My choices are:
+z direction.
-y direction.
-x direction.
+y direction.
+x direction.
-z direction.
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't understand polarization much. Also, from what I know about electromagnetic waves the magnetic and electric fields point in two directions so I can't just answer one answer it would have to be two of the choices above but I don't have that option.
Please Help! I Would really appreciate it! It's due tomorrow!
