A

The same direction but differ in phase by $90°$

B

The same direction and are in phase

C

Mutually perpendicular directions and are in phase

D

Mutually perpendicular directions and differ in phase by $90°$

(AIPMT-1994) (AIPMT-2007)

Solution

(c)$\vec E$ and $\vec B$ are mutually perpendicular to each other and are in phase i.e. they become zero and minimum at the same place and at the same time.
