JEE MainPhysicsModerateEM wave

In an electromagnetic wave, the electric field oscillates
sinusoidal with amplitude 48 Vm^-1, the RMSvalue of oscillating

magnetic field will be nearly equal to

Show answer and solution
B0=E0c=483×108=16×10−8TB_{0} = \frac{E_{0}}{c} = \frac{48}{3 \times 10^{8}} = 16 \times 10^{- 8}T
Brms=B02=16×10−82=82×10−8TB_{rms} = \frac{B_{0}}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{16 \times 10^{- 8}}{\sqrt{2}} = 8\sqrt{2} \times 10^{- 8}T
