$A$ plane electromagnetic wave of frequency $50\, MHz$ travels in free space along the positive $x-$ direction. At a particular point in space and time, $\vec E = 6.3\,\hat j\,V/m$. The corresponding magnetic field $\vec B$ at that point will be:

The correct statement among the following is:

$A$ carbon dioxide laser emits a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave that travels in a vacuum in the negative $x-$ direction. The wavelength is $10.6\,\mu m$ and the $\vec E$ field is parallel to the $z-$ axis,with $E_{max} = 1.5 \times 10^6\, V/m$. Then the vector equations for $\vec E$ and $\vec B$ as a function of time and position are:

The velocity of radio waves in free space is $3 \times 10^{8} \ m/s$. If the wavelength of the radio waves is $150 \ m$,what is their frequency?
