Detailed Solution

E×B gives the direction of wave propagation.

k^×B  i^+j^2

Let the ai^ + bj^ be the unit vector along B.

then: 

k^ × (ai^ + bj^) = i^ +j^ 2 ai^ + bj ^ = i^ - j^ 2

Hence, direction of the magnetic field is along i^-j^2.

The magnitude of amplitude of magnetic field is B0 = E0c.

K=2πνc=3×10123×108=104

Therefore, B=E0Ci^ - j^2cos104i^ + j^2·r3×1012t
