JEE Main 2 September 2020, Shift 2, Physics Q15

Question 15 of 75 in this shift, Physics question 15 of 25.

In a plane electromagnetic wave, the directions of electric field and magnetic field are represented by k^\hat{k} and 2i^−2j^2\hat{i} - 2\hat{j}, respectively. What is the unit vector along direction of propagation of the wave.
  1. (1)12(j^+k^)\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\hat{j} + \hat{k})
  2. (2)12(i^+j^)\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(\hat{i} + \hat{j})Official answer
  3. (3)15(i^+2j^)\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}(\hat{i} + 2\hat{j})
  4. (4)15(2i^+j^)\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}(2\hat{i} + \hat{j})
