Frequency of the electromagnetic waves given is f = 2450 MHz
The corresponding angular frequency is

\begin{aligned} & \omega=2 \pi \text{f}=2 \times 3.14 \times 2450 \times 106 \\ \\& =15,386 \times 106 \mathrm{~Hz} \\ \\& =1.54 \times 1010 \mathrm{~s}^{-1} \end{aligned}

The magnetic field \mathrm{\mathrm{B}=\mathrm{me} \omega / \mid \mathrm{q}}

Mass of the electron, \mathrm{\mathrm{me}=9.22 \times 10-31 \mathrm{~kg}}

Charge of the electron

\mathrm{\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{q}=-1.60 \times 10-19 \mathrm{C} \Rightarrow|\mathrm{q}|=1.60 \times 10-19 \mathrm{C} \\ & \mathrm{B}=0.0887 \mathrm{~T} \end{aligned}}
