Answer

$B_x = (1.67\times 10^{-8}~T)~sin[(1.00\times 10^6~m^{-1})z+(3.00\times 10^{14}~s^{-1}) t]$

Work Step by Step

$E_y = (5.00~V/m)~sin[(1.00\times 10^6~m^{-1})z+\omega t]$ We can find $B_m$: $B_m = \frac{E_m}{c} = \frac{5.00~V/m}{3.0\times 10^8~m/s} = 1.67\times 10^{-8}~T$ We can find $\omega$: $\omega = k~c = (1.00\times 10^6~m^{-1})(3.0\times 10^8~m/s) = 3.00\times 10^{14}~s^{-1}$ We can write an expression for the magnetic field component: $B_x = (1.67\times 10^{-8}~T)~sin[(1.00\times 10^6~m^{-1})z+(3.00\times 10^{14}~s^{-1}) t]$
