Answer 1

Right option is (a) True Explanation: In the EM wave propagation, the electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other. The P polarised wave is similar to the transverse electric (TE) wave, the magnetic field lies in the plane perpendicular to that of the interface or the electric field lies in the same plane as the interface.
