Light waves are which type of waves?

Assume a bulb of efficiency $2.5\%$ as a point source. The peak value of the electric field produced by the radiation coming from a $100\, W$ bulb at a distance of $3\, m$ is approximately.....$V\,m^{-1}$.

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: Electromagnetic waves are not deflected by electric and magnetic fields.
Statement $II$: The amplitude of the electric field and the magnetic field in electromagnetic waves are related to each other as $E_0 = \sqrt{\frac{\mu_0}{\varepsilon_0}} B_0$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Show that the radiation pressure exerted by an $EM$ wave of intensity $I$ on a surface kept in vacuum is $\frac{I}{c}$.
