$A$ light bulb emits power of $800 \, W$. What is the maximum value of the magnetic field at a distance of $3.5 \, m$ from the bulb?

Select the correct statement from the following:

The magnetic field of a plane electromagnetic wave is $\overrightarrow{B} = 3 \times 10^{-8} \sin [200 \pi(y + ct)] \hat{i} \, T$,where $c = 3 \times 10^{8} \, m/s$ is the speed of light. The corresponding electric field is:

The electron density of $E, F_1,$ and $F_2$ layers of the ionosphere is $4 \times 10^{11} \, m^{-3}, 9 \times 10^{11} \, m^{-3},$ and $16 \times 10^{11} \, m^{-3}$ respectively. What is the ratio of the critical frequencies for the reflection of radio waves?

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: $A$ time-varying electric field is a source of a changing magnetic field and vice-versa. Thus,a disturbance in an electric or magnetic field creates $EM$ waves.
Statement $II$: In a material medium,the $EM$ wave travels with speed $v = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}}}$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
