The electric field associated with an electromagnetic wave propagating in a dielectric medium is given by $\vec{E}=30(2 \hat{x}+\hat{y}) \sin \left[2 \pi\left(5 \times 10^{14} t-\frac{10^7}{3} z\right)\right] \mathrm{V} \mathrm{m}^{-1}$. Which of the following option($s$) is(are) correct?

$\mathrm{C}_{\text {medium }}=\frac{5 \times 10^{14}}{10^7 / 3}=1.5 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \therefore \mu=2$

$\mathrm{C}_{\text {medium }}=\frac{\mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{B}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{B}=\frac{\mathrm{E}}{\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{m}}}=\frac{30 \sqrt{5}}{1.5 \times 10^8}=2 \sqrt{5} \times 10^{-7}$

$\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}_{\text {dinection }} \equiv \hat{\mathrm{k}} \times(2 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}) \equiv \frac{2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-\hat{\mathrm{i}}}{\sqrt{5}}$

$\therefore \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}=2 \times 10^{-7}(-\hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}) \sin \left[27\left(5 \times 10^{17} \mathrm{t}-\frac{10^7}{3} \mathrm{z}\right)\right]$
