Q.

In a plane EM wave, the electric field oscillates sinusoidally at a frequency of 5×1010Hz and an amplitude of 50Vm-1. The total average energy density of the electromagnetic field of the wave is [Use ε0=8.85×10-12C2/Nm2]                       [2024]

1 1.106×10-8Jm-3  
2 2.212×10-10Jm-3  
3 4.425×10-8Jm-3  
4 2.212×10-8Jm-3  

Ans.

(1)   

          UE=12ϵ0E2

            UE=12×8.85×10-12×(50)2=1.106×10-8J/m3
