If $$\vec{E}$$ and $$\vec{K}$$ represent electric field and propagation vectors of the EM waves in vacuum, then magnetic field vector is given by: ($$\omega$$ - angular frequency)
For an electromagnetic wave in vacuum,
$$\vec E$$ = electric field vector
$$\vec K$$ = propagation vector
$$\vec B$$ = magnetic field vector
The magnetic field is perpendicular to both $$\vec E$$ and $$\vec K$$.
Direction of magnetic field:
$$\hat B \parallel (\hat K \times \hat E)$$
Magnitude relation:
$$B=\frac{E}{c}$$
Since,
$$c=\frac{\omega}{K}$$
therefore,
$$B=\frac{K}{\omega}E$$
Hence vector form is
$$\boxed{\vec B=\frac{1}{\omega}(\vec K\times \vec E)}$$
