Optics Question 180

Question: A point source of electromagnetic radiation has an average power output of 800 W. The maximum value of electric field at a distance 4.0 m from the source is

Options:

A) 64.7 V/m

B) 57.8 V/m

C) 56.72 V/m

D) 54.77 V/m

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Intensity of EM wave is given by I=P4πR2=vav.c=12ε0E02×c

Therefore E0=P2πR2ε0c

=8002×3.14×(4)2×8.85×1012×3×108 = 54.77 Vm
