The correct answer is: 3.2×10-8k^ T

At every instant, the ratio of the magnitude of the electric field to the magnitude of the magnetic field in an electromagnetic wave equals the speed of light.

Therefore, EB=c

EB=3×108

B=E3×108=9.63×108

B=3.2×10-8 T

Now, direction of magnetic field can be calculated as

B^=v^×E^

=i^×j^=k^

So, B=3.2×10-8k^T
