The electric field in $NC^{-1}$ of an electromagnetic wave is given by $E = 36 \sqrt{\pi} \sin(\omega t - kx)$. The average energy density of the electromagnetic wave due to the electric field is (Given: $\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9 \ Nm^2 C^{-2}$)

In an electromagnetic wave,at an instant and at a particular position,the electric field is along the negative $z$-axis and the magnetic field is along the positive $x$-axis. Then the direction of propagation of the electromagnetic wave is

Electromagnetic waves travel in a medium which has relative permeability $1.3$ and relative permittivity $2.14$. Then the speed of the electromagnetic wave in the medium will be

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. $\left(\mu_0=4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \ H/m, \varepsilon_0=8.85 \times 10^{-12} \ F/m, c=3 \times 10^8 \ m/s\right)$

If the frequency of an electromagnetic wave is $60 \text{ MHz}$ and it travels in air along the $z$-direction,then the corresponding electric and magnetic field vectors will be mutually perpendicular to each other. The wavelength of the wave (in $\text{m}$) is:
