EM Wave Propagation Direction

The velocity of an electromagnetic wave is along (where E represents the electric field and B represents the magnetic field)
\(\vec{E} + \vec{B}\)
\(\vec{E} \times \vec{B}\)
\(\vec{E}\)
\(\vec{B}\)

Solution:

The direction of propagation of an electromagnetic wave is given by Poynting vector, which is parallel to the cross product of electric and magnetic fields, \(\vec{E} \times \vec{B}\).
