The electric field of an electromagnetic wave in free space is given by $\overrightarrow E = 10\cos ({10^7}t + kx)\widehat j\,\,V/m,$ where t and x are in seconds and metres respectively. It can be inferred that
(1) the wavelength $\lambda $ is 188.4 m.
(2) the wave number k is 0.33 rad/m.
(3) the wave amplitude is 10 V/m.
(4) the wave is propagating along +x direction.
