Detailed Solution

Since the wave is propagating along x-direction, therefore, electric field E is along y - direction and magnetic field B is along z-direction.

 k=2πλ=2πνc=2π×50×1063×108=π3

E=E0sin(kx-ωt)j^=120sinπ3x-100π×106tj^

As B0=E0c=1203×108=40×10-8 T

 B=B0sinkx-ωtk^=40×10-8 sinπ3x-π×108tk^
