Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: Electromagnetic waves carry energy as they travel through space and this energy is equally shared by the electric and magnetic fields.
Statement $II$: When electromagnetic waves strike a surface,a pressure is exerted on the surface.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

The magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave is given by, $B_{y} = 2 \times 10^{-7} \sin (\pi \times 10^{3} x + 3 \pi \times 10^{11} t) \; T$. Calculate the wavelength.

$A$ point light source emits electromagnetic ($E$.$M$.) waves in free space. $A$ detector, placed at a distance of $L \text{ m}$, measures the intensity as $I_o$. The detector is now shifted to another location on the same spherical surface, ensuring the angle between the original location and the new location is $45^{\circ}$. The measured intensity at the new location will be . . . . . . .

The electric field and magnetic field components of an electromagnetic wave going through vacuum are described by
$E_x = E_0 \sin(kz - \omega t)$
$B_y = B_0 \sin(kz - \omega t)$
Then the correct relation between $E_0$ and $B_0$ is given by
