Understand that the relationship between the electric field (E) and the magnetic field (B) in an electromagnetic wave is given by the equation: E = cB, where c is the speed of light in a vacuum (approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s).
Rearrange the equation to solve for the magnetic field amplitude (B): B = E / c.
Substitute the given electric field amplitude (E = 1500 V/m) into the equation.
Use the value of the speed of light (c = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s) in the equation.
Calculate the magnetic field amplitude (B) using the values from the previous steps to find the correct answer.
