The electric field and magnetic field components of an electromagnetic wave going through vacuum are described by
$E_x = E_0 \sin(kz - \omega t)$
$B_y = B_0 \sin(kz - \omega t)$
Then the correct relation between $E_0$ and $B_0$ is given by

  • A
    $kE_0 = \omega B_0$
  • B
    $E_0 B_0 = \omega k$
  • C
    $\omega E_0 = kB_0$
  • D
    $E_0 = kB_0$
