E in the -i direction and B in the +J direction is known incorrect, please help
Suppose an electromagnetic plane wave propagating in vacuum in the +k-direction has a polarization with the
electric field in the +i-direction immediately before it strikes a perfect conductor at normal incidence. What are the
directions of the E and B vectors of the transmitted wave?
E in the - i-direction, and B in the + -direction
O Ē in the + i-direction, and B in the + j-direction
O E in the +i-direction, and B in the – j-direction
E in the – i-direction, and B in the – j-direction
O There is no transmitted wave in a perfect conductor.
