I also accept that Power is transmitted in the direction of wave travel. But I do not understand why you do not want to accept that there is work done on the fluid particle in upward direction as well as in downward direction. If you take work done in upward movement is taken as positive and in...

thank you for the links. Let us discuss em waves a little later. In case of the ripples formed in a pond, there is movement of fluid particles up and down. At any instant of time, work is also done in making the fluid particles go up and down which transfers energy in transverse direction ...

Thank you very much for improving my understanding on EM waves. But I would like to put my thoughts as below. Kindly clarify. When EM wave propogates in a direction, Electric field and magnetic field get created perpendicular to each other and the energy available in each of the fields is...

So what exactly happens?

This is what i think that happens: When Photon carrying energy is moving in a straight line, power is transmitted in a direction perpendicular to both electric and magnetic fields. The transmitted power in that way gets transferred into creation of magnetic field and electric field in...

does'nt option (a) suggest that energy is equally divided between the electric and magnetic fields?

option (b) does not specify what exactly are the fields. It just mentions it as both the fields. so i think that (a) is more accurate.

My selected option was (a). I just wanted to make sure if (a) was more appropriate than (b)

which one of these is most appropriate?

In electromagnetic waves a) Power is equally transferred along both electric and magnetic fields. b) Power is transmitted in a direction perpendicular to both the fields. c) Power is transmitted along electric field. d) Power is transmitted along magnetic field

Is the power in an electromagnetic wave equally transferred along both the electric and magnetic fields?
