Which of the following is $NOT$ true for electromagnetic waves?

$A$ plane electromagnetic wave of frequency $28 \, MHz$ travels in free space along the positive $x$-direction. At a particular point in space and time, the electric field is $9.3 \, V/m$ along the positive $y$-direction. The magnetic field (in $T$) at that point is:

In an $EM$ wave propagating along the $X-$ direction,the magnetic field oscillates at a frequency of $3 \times 10^{10} \, Hz$ along the $Y-$ direction and has an amplitude of $10^{-7} \, T$. The expression for the electric field will be:

Which of the following is not a property of light?
