The given wave in an Electromagnetic Waves. Electromagnetic radiation is a self propagating wave in space with electric and magnetic components. These components oscillate at right angles to each other and to the direction of propagation. Direction of propagation is along $ \vec{E}\times \vec{B}$ It is given that Direction of propagation is along $\hat{j}$ , Direction of E is along $\hat{i}$ hence direction of B must be along $\hat{-k}$ |
