components.

  1. $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{y}}, \mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{y}}$ or $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{z}}, \mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{z}}$

  2. $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{y}}, \mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{x}}$ or $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{x}}, \mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{y}}$

  3. $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{x}}, \mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{z}}$ or $\mathrm{E}_{z}, \mathrm{~B}_{\mathrm{x}}$

  4. $E_{x}, B_{y}$ or $E_{y}, B_{x}$
