electromagnetic-waves Question 5
Question: Q. 6. An EM wave radiates outwards from a dipole antenna, with $E_{0}$ as the amplitude of its electric field vector. The electric field $E_{0}$ which transports significant energy from the source falls off as (a) $\frac{1}{r^{3}}$. (b) $\frac{1}{r^{2}}$. (c) $\frac{1}{r}$. (d) remains constant.
Show Answer
Solution:
Ans. Correct option : (c)
[NCERT Exemplar]
Explanation: A diode antenna radiates the electromagnetic waves outwards. The amplitude of electric field vector $\left(E_{0}\right)$ which transports significant energy from the source falls intensity inversely as the distance $(r)$ from the antenna. As we know that electromagnetic waves are radiated from dipole antenna and radiated energy $E \propto \frac{1}{r}$.
