At what fraction of the speed of light is an electromagnetic wave traveling if it has a maximum electric field strength of 7.4 kV/m and a maximum magnetic field strength of 55.9 µT? Enter your answer as the decimal you would multiply the speed of light (c) by to get your answer (i.e., if your answer was O.XYc, you would enter 0.XY).
