If at a particular instant and at a certain point in space the electric field is in the x-direction and has a magnitude of 3.10 V/mV/m , what is the magnitude of the magnetic field of the wave at this same point in space and instant in time

Answer:

B = 1.03 10⁻⁸ T

Step-by-step explanation:

For an electromagnetic wave, the electric and magnetic fields must oscillate in phase so that they remain between them at all times, otherwise the wave will extinguish

This relational is expressed by the relation

E /B = c

B = E / c

let's calculate

B = 3.10 / 3 10⁸

B = 1.03 10⁻⁸ T
