Question 98: EM waves

Question

The electric field in an electromagnetic wave is given by E = 56.5 sin $$\omega$$(t $$-$$ x/c) NC$$-$$1. Find the intensity of the wave if it is propagating along x-axis in the free space.
(Given : $$\varepsilon $$0 = 8.85 $$	imes$$ 10$$-$$12C2N$$-$$1m$$-$$2)

Accepted Answer

$$I = {1 \over 2}{\varepsilon _0}E_0^2c$$
$$ = {1 \over 2}  8.5 	imes {10^{ - 12}} 	imes {(56.5)^2} 	imes 3 	imes {10^8}$$
$$ = 4.24$$ W/m
