The magnetic field in a plane EM wave traveling in the positive x-direction is given by 

B=(100μT) sin [(2×1015s-1)(t-x/c)]j^

The equation for electric field is :

1. E=100sin [(2×1015s-1)(t-x/c)]-k^

2. E=(3×1010 μV/m)sin [(2×1015s-1)(t-x/c)]-k^

3. E=3×1010sin [(2×1015s-1)(t-x/c)] k^

4. E=100sin [(2×1015s-1)(t-x/c)] k^
