$A$ plane electromagnetic wave of frequency $500\, MHz$ is travelling in vacuum along $y$-direction. At a particular point in space and time,$\overrightarrow{B} = 8.0 \times 10^{-8} \hat{z}\, T$. The value of electric field at this point is (speed of light $c = 3 \times 10^{8}\, m/s$). $\hat{x}, \hat{y}, \hat{z}$ are unit vectors along $x, y$ and $z$ directions.
