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 3.80 V/m , what is the magnitude of the magnetic field of the wave at this same point in space and instant in time?

Answer:

The value is
|\vec B| = 1.267 *0^(-8) \ T

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The magnitude of the electric fields is
E = 3.80 V/m

Generally speed of light is mathematically represented as


c = (|\vec E|)/( |\vec B|)

Here c is the speed of light with value
c = 3.0*10^(8) \ m/s


|\vec B | is the magnitude of the magnetic field so

=>
|\vec B| = (|\vec E|)/(c)

=>
|\vec B| = ( 3.80 )/(3.0*10^(8))

=>
|\vec B| = 1.267 *0^(-8) \ T
