The electric field and magnetic field associated with an electromagnetic $(e.m.)$ wave,propagating along the $-z$ axis,can be represented by:

The magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave is given by $B = (400 \ \mu T) \sin [ (4.0 \times 10^{15} \ s^{-1}) (t - \frac{x}{c}) ]$. The average energy density corresponding to the electric field is:

$A$ plane electromagnetic wave of frequency $50\, MHz$ travels in free space along the positive $x-$ direction. At a particular point in space and time, $\vec E = 6.3\,\hat j\,V/m$. The corresponding magnetic field $\vec B$ at that point will be:

In a plane $EM$ wave,the electric field oscillates sinusoidally at a frequency of $30 \text{ MHz}$ and amplitude $150 \text{ V/m}$. Identify the correct expression for $\vec{B}$ assuming the wave is propagating along the $x$-axis and the electric field is oscillating along the $y$-axis.

How is the average energy density in an electromagnetic wave related to the magnetic field?
