A three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system with x, y, and z axes labeled. An arrow labeled v points along the positive x-axis to indicate the direction of wave propagation. At the origin, a vector labeled E points along the positive y-axis. A third axis, labeled z, extends perpendicularly to the xy-plane. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
Orientation of the electromagnetic wave propagation and electric field vector.
An electromagnetic wave traveling through a vacuum in the positive \(x\)-direction has an electric field oscillating along the \(y\)-axis with a peak amplitude of \(600 \text{ V/m}\). Which of the following correctly identifies the peak magnitude and direction of oscillation of the wave's magnetic field?
