Answer

$E_z = (1200~V/m)~sin~[(6.67\times 10^6~m^{-1})~y+(2.00\times 10^{15}~s^{-1})~t]$

Work Step by Step

We can find the magnitude of the electric field: $E = B~c$ $E = (4.00\times 10^{-6}~T)(3.0\times 10^8~m/s)$ $E = 1200~V/m$ We can find $k$: $k = \frac{\omega}{c}$ $k = \frac{2.00\times 10^{15}~s^{-1}}{3.0\times 10^8~m/s}$ $k = 6.67\times 10^6~m^{-1}$ We can write an expression for the electric field: $E_z = (1200~V/m)~sin~[(6.67\times 10^6~m^{-1})~y+(2.00\times 10^{15}~s^{-1})~t]$
