Which of the following statements is false regarding the properties of electromagnetic waves?

If an optical medium possesses a relative permeability of $\frac{10}{\pi}$ and relative permittivity of $\frac{1}{0.0885}$,then the velocity of light is greater in vacuum than that in this medium by . . . . . . times. $\left(\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \ H/m, \varepsilon_0=8.85 \times 10^{-12} \ F/m, c=3 \times 10^8 \ m/s\right)$

The electric field in an electromagnetic wave is given as $\vec{E} = 20 \sin \omega (t - \frac{x}{c}) \hat{j} \text{ N/C}$. Where $\omega$ and $c$ are the angular frequency and velocity of the electromagnetic wave,respectively. The energy contained in a volume of $5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}^3$ will be $..... \times 10^{-13} \text{ J}$. (Given $\varepsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \text{ C}^2/\text{Nm}^2$)
