Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The direction of propagation of an electromagnetic wave is perpendicular to both the electric and magnetic fields. The given fields are represented by the vectors 11ea800b_1923_717f_846e_33d56b3c57a3_TB6864_11 and 11ea800b_1923_7180_846e_e79be1a05566_TB6864_11 respectively, so the direction of propagation will be perpendicular to both. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
