Why Key 1 is wrong: Option 1 is wrong because B is not perpendicular to wave
propagation
Why Key 2 is wrong : Option 2 is wrong because E is not perpendicular to wave
propagation
Why Key 3 is wrong : Option 3 is wrong because E & B are not perpendicular.
Underlying Concept :
In EM waves E & B are perpendicular to each other and intern perpendicular to direction of
propagation of wave or energy.
