$(a)$ Comparing the given equation with

$B_{y}=B_{0} \sin \left[2 \pi\left(\frac{x}{\lambda}+\frac{t}{T}\right)\right]$

We get, $\lambda=\frac{2 \pi}{0.5 \times 10^{3}} m =1.26 \,m$

and $\quad \frac{1}{T}=v=\left(1.5 \times 10^{11}\right) / 2 \pi=23.9 \,GHz$

$(b)$ $E_{0}=B_{0} c=2 \times 10^{-7} \,T \times 3 \times 10^{8} \,m / s =6 \times 10^{1}\, V / m$

The electric field component is perpendicular to the direction of propagation and the direction of magnetic field. Therefore, the electric field component along the $z$ -axis is obtained as

$E_{z}=60 \sin \left(0.5 \times 10^{3} x+1.5 \times 10^{11} t\right)\, V / m$

A radar sends an electromagnetic signal of electric field $\left( E _{0}\right)=2.25\,V / m$ and magnetic field $\left( B _{0}\right)=1.5 \times 10^{-8}\,T$ which strikes a target on line of sight at a distance of $3\,km$ in a medium After that, a pail of signal $(echo)$ reflects back towards the radar vitli same velocity and by same path.
