**Question:**

The maximum strength of the magnetic field in an electromagnetic wave is \(3.2 \times 10^{-6} \, \text{T}\). What is the maximum strength of the electric field of the wave?

**Input Fields:**

- **Number:** [Input box for the numerical value]
- **Units:** [Dropdown menu for selecting units]

---

This problem is designed to help students understand the relationship between the electric field and magnetic field in an electromagnetic wave. The speed of light (\(c\)) is key to finding the solution, as it relates the electric field (\(E\)) and the magnetic field (\(B\)) using the formula: 

\[ E = c \times B \]

By using the known values and constants, students can calculate the maximum strength of the electric field.
