$A$ plane electromagnetic wave propagating in the direction of the unit vector $\hat{n}$ with a speed $c$ is described by electric and magnetic field vectors $E$ and $B$,respectively. Which of the following relations (in $SI$ units) between $E$ and $B$ can be ruled out on dimensional grounds alone?

  • A
    $E = \frac{\hat{n} \times B}{c}$
  • B
    $E = -c(\hat{n} \times B)$
  • C
    $B = \frac{\hat{n} \times E}{c}$
  • D
    $\hat{n} \times E \times B = 0$
