The magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave is given by $\overrightarrow{ B } = 2 \times 10^{-8} \sin (0.5 \times 10^{3} x + 1.5 \times 10^{11} t) \hat{ j } \text{ T}$. The amplitude of the electric field would be:

If the magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave is given by $B = 5 \times 10^{-6} \sin (0.6 \times 10^2 x + 0.5 \times 10^{10} t)$,then the speed of the wave is

Light is an electromagnetic wave. Its speed in vacuum is given by the expression

$A$ plane electromagnetic wave of wavelength $3.0 \ m$ travels in vacuum along the positive $X$-axis. The electric field of amplitude $300 \ Vm^{-1}$ oscillates parallel to the $Y$-axis. Then the intensity of the wave is $(\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \ Hm^{-1}, c = 3 \times 10^8 \ ms^{-1})$ (in $Wm^{-2}$)

The electric field part of an electromagnetic wave in a medium is represented by $E_x=0, E_y=2.5 \frac{N}{C} \cos \left[ (2\pi \times 10^6 \frac{rad}{s})t - (\pi \times 10^{-2} \frac{rad}{m})x \right]$,and $E_z=0$. The wave is
