An electromagnetic wave going through vacuum is described by

E = E0 sin(κx – ωt); B = B0 sin(κx – ωt)


Then



Explanation: The amplitudes of the electric and magnetic fields are


related as


…(i)


where c is the speed of wave and E0 and B0 are the amplitudes of the fields.


The speed of wave is related with its frequency and wavenumber as


…(ii)


where ω is the angular frequency of the wave ( and k is the wavenumber () and ν is the frequency and λ is the wavelength of the wave.


From (i) and (ii)



so A. is correct.


B. and C. are invalid relations. Only A. is the correct option.
