The electric field and magnetic field components of an electromagnetic wave going through vacuum is described by

Ex=E0sin(kz−ωt){E}_{x}={E}_{0}\mathrm{sin}(kz-\omega t)Ex​=E0​sin(kz−ωt)

By=B0sin(kz−ωt){B}_{y}={B}_{0}\mathrm{sin}(kz-\omega t)By​=B0​sin(kz−ωt)

Then the correct relation between E0{E}_{0}E0​ and B0{B}_{0}B0​ is given by
