Answer:

<E1, E2>.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, in the question above we are given that the Two Electric field vectors E1 and E2 are perpendicular to each other. Thus, we are going to have the i and the j components for the two Electric Field that is E1 and E2 respectively. That is to say the addition we give us a resultant E which is an arbitrary vector;

E = |E| cos θi + |E| sin θj. -------------------(1).

Therefore, if we make use of the components division rule we will have something like what we have below;

x = |E2|/ |E| cos θ and y = |E1|/|E| sin θ

Therefore, we will now have;

E = x |E2| i + y |E1| j.

The base vectors is then Given as <E1, E2>.
