The electric field and magnetic field components of an electromagnetic wave going through vacuum is described by

Ex=E0sin⁡(kz−ωt)By=B0sin⁡(kz−ωt)\begin{array}{l} E_{x}=E_{0} \sin (k z-\omega t) \\ B_{y}=B_{0} \sin (k z-\omega t) \end{array}

Then the correct relation between E0{E}_{0} and B0{B}_{0} is given by
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
kE0=ωBo{kE}_{0}=\omega {B}_{{o}}
Option C (kE0=ωBo{kE}_{0}=\omega {B}_{{o}}) is correct because the ratio of the electric field amplitude to the magnetic field amplitude is equal to the speed of light, and c=ω/kc = \omega/k.
