In a plane electromagnetic wave,the average value of ....... is zero.

If the frequency of an electromagnetic wave is $60 \text{ MHz}$ and it travels in air along the $z$-direction,then the corresponding electric and magnetic field vectors will be mutually perpendicular to each other. The wavelength of the wave (in $\text{m}$) is:
