Question

An electromagnetic plane wave, that is propagating in the x-direction at a speed of 3.00 x10⁸ m/s, has a peak electric field strength of 4,200 N/C and a wavelength of 900 nm. Which of the following functions represents the correct behavior for the magnetic field?

	a.	B(x, t) = (21 µT)sin[(9.00 x 10^-7 m^-1)x – (2.09 x 10¹⁵ rad/s)t]
	b.	B(x, t) = (28 µT)sin[(6.98 x 10⁶ m^-1)x – (2.09 x 10¹⁵ rad/s)t]
	c.	B(x, t) = (14 µT)sin[(6.98 x 10⁶ m^-1)x – (2.09 x 10¹⁵ rad/s)t]
	d.	B(x, t) = (14 µT)sin[(6.98 x 10⁶ m^-1)x – (3.14 x 10¹⁵ rad/s)t]
	e.	B(x, t) = (4,200 µT)sin[(6.98 x 10⁶ m^-1)x – (2.09 x 10¹⁵ rad/s)t]
