A plane electromagnetic wave, with wavelength 5 m, travels in vacuum in the positive x direction with its electric vector E, of amplitude 229.1 V/M, directed along y axis. What is the time-averaged rate of energy flow in watts per square meter associated with the wave

Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation:

E₀ = 229.1 V/m

E = E₀ / √2 = 229.1 / 1.414 = 162 V/m

B =  E / c  ( c is velocity of em waves )

=   162 / (3 x 10⁸)  = 54 x 10⁻⁸ T

rate of energy flow =  ( E x B )  / μ₀

= 162 x 54 x 10⁻⁸ / 4π x 10⁻⁷

= 69.65 W per m².
