### Problem Statement:
A sinusoidal electromagnetic wave is propagating in a vacuum in the +z-direction.

**Question:**
If at a particular instant and at a certain point in space the electric field is in the +x-direction and has a magnitude of 3.80 V/m, what is the magnitude of the magnetic field of the wave at this same point in space and instant in time?

### Answer Submission Interface:
- Input Box: A text box is provided for entering the value of the magnetic field \( B \).
   - Current Input: \( B = 1.1 \times 10^{-8} \) T
- Submit Button: A button to submit your answer.
- Feedback: After submission, an incorrect message is displayed with the note: 
   - "Incorrect; Try Again; 4 attempts remaining."

**Explanation for Incorrect Answer:**
The provided value \( 1.1 \times 10^{-8} \) T is flagged as incorrect. To solve for the correct magnetic field, use the relationship between the electric field \( \mathbf{E} \) and the magnetic field \( \mathbf{B} \) in an electromagnetic wave propagating in a vacuum:

\[ c = \frac{E}{B} \]

Where:
- \( c \) is the speed of light in a vacuum (\( c \approx 3.00 \times 10^8 \) m/s).
- \( E \) is the magnitude of the electric field.
- \( B \) is the magnitude of the magnetic field.

Given:
- \( E = 3.80 \) V/m

Rearranging the formula to solve for \( B \):

\[ B = \frac{E}{c} = \frac{3.80 \text{ V/m}}{3.00 \times 10^8 \text{ m/s}} \approx 1.27 \times 10^{-8} \text{ T} \]

### Correct Answer:
\[ B \approx 1.27 \times 10^{-8} \text{ T} \]

To correctly solve the problem and avoid incorrect submissions, understanding this relationship and careful calculation are crucial.
