Amplitude of magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave in a vacuum,

$B_{0}=510 nT =510 \times 10^{-9} T$

Speed of light in a vacuum, $c=3 \times 10^{8} m / s$

Amplitude of electric field of the electromagnetic wave is given by the relation,

$E=c B_{0}=3 \times 10^{8} \times 510 \times 10^{-9}=153 N / C$

Therefore, the electric field part of the wave is $153 N / C$.
