$A$ plane electromagnetic wave of frequency $100 \, MHz$ is travelling in vacuum along the $x$-direction. At a particular point in space and time,$\overrightarrow{B} = 2.0 \times 10^{-8} \hat{k} \, T$ (where $\hat{k}$ is the unit vector along the $z$-direction). What is $\overrightarrow{E}$ at this point?
