    A) max = Eo = 375 V/m, B) B = 125 10⁻⁸ T, C) f = 9.50 101⁴ Hz, D) λ = 3.158 10⁻⁷ m, E) T = 1.05 10⁻¹⁵ s, F) invisible for humans G) v = c = 3 10⁸ m/s

    Explanation:

    The expression given for the electric field is

    E = 375 cos (1.99 107x + 5.97 105t)

    The general formula for the electric field of a transverse traveler is

    E = Eo cos (kx-wt)

    Where k is the wave number and w the angular velocity

    A) The amplitudes as electric is

    Emax = Eo = 375 V / m

    B) the electric and magnetic field are related

    E / B = c

    B = E / c

    B = 375/3 108

    B = 125 10⁻⁸ T

    C) angular velocity and frequency is related

    . w = 2π f

    f = w / 2π

    f = 5.97 10¹⁵ / 2π

    f = 9.50 101⁴ Hz

    D) the speed of light has the formula

    c = λ f

    λ = c / f

    λ = 3 10⁸ / 9.50 10¹⁴

    λ = 3.158 10⁻⁷ m

    E) The period

    T = 1 / f

    T = 1 / 9.5 10¹⁴

    T = 1.05 10⁻¹⁵ s

    F) let's reduce the wavelength nm

    λ = 3.158 10⁻⁷ m (10⁹nm / 1m)

    λ = 3.158 10²nm = 315.3 nm

    The visible radiation range is between 400nm and 700nm. This radiation is ultraviolet and is invisible humans

    G) All electromagnetic radiation has a speed at the speed of light (c)

    v = c = 3 10⁸ m/s
