(C) The general equation for a plane electromagnetic wave is $B = B_0 \sin(kx + \omega t)$.Comparing this with the given equation $B = 2 	imes 10^{-7} \sin(0.5 	imes 10^3 x + 1.5 	imes 10^{11} t)$,we get:Angular frequency $\omega = 1.5 	imes 10^{11} \, 	ext{rad/s}$ and wave number $k = 0.5 	imes 10^3 \, 	ext{m}^{-1}$.The frequency $f$ is given by $f = \frac{\omega}{2\pi} = \frac{1.5 	imes 10^{11}}{2 	imes 3.14} \approx 2.39 	imes 10^{10} \, 	ext{Hz}$.The wavelength $\lambda$ is given by $\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k} = \frac{2 	imes 3.14}{0.5 	imes 10^3} \approx 1.25 	imes 10^{-2} \, 	ext{m} = 1.25 \, 	ext{cm}$.Electromagnetic waves with wavelengths in the range of $1 \, 	ext{mm}$ to $1 \, 	ext{m}$ (or frequencies between $300 \, 	ext{MHz}$ and $300 \, 	ext{GHz}$) are classified as microwaves.Therefore,the correct option is $C$.

The magnetic field in a plane electromagnetic wave is given by $B = 2 \times 10^{-7} \sin(0.5 \times 10^3 x + 1.5 \times 10^{11} t)$. This electromagnetic wave is .........
