An electromagnetic wave travelling in a lossless dielectric medium having a dielectric constant $\epsilon_r = 9$, has the electric field, $E_x = E_0 \sin (kz - 2\pi \times 10^6 t) \text{ Vm}^{-1}$ where $E_0$ is the amplitude and $k$ is the wave vector. Among the following options, the incorrect choice is :

  • A
    The speed of the electromagnetic wave inside the medium is $10^8 \text{ ms}^{-1}$
  • B
    The wavelength of the electromagnetic wave inside the medium is $300 \text{ m}$
  • C
    The magnetic field is given by the relation $B_y = \frac{B_0}{v} \sin (kz - 2\pi \times 10^6 t)$ where $v$ is speed of the electromagnetic wave inside the medium
  • D
    The direction of propagation of the electromagnetic wave is along $+z$
