8.Electromagnetic waves
medium

A $27\, mW$ lager beam has a cross -sectional area of $10\, mm^2$. The magnitude of the maximum electric field in this electromagnetic wave is given by:........$kV/m$ [Given permittivity of space ${ \in _0} = 9 \times {10^{ - 12}}\, SI\, units$, speed of light $c = 3 \times 10^8\, m/s$]

A

$2$

B

$0.7$

C

$1$

D

$1.4$

Solution

Intensity of $EM$ wave is given by

${\mathrm{I}=\frac{\text { Power }}{\text { Area }}=\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_{0} \mathrm{E}_{0}^{2} \mathrm{C}}$

${=\frac{27 \times 10^{-3}}{10 \times 10^{-6}}=\frac{1}{2} \times 9 \times 10^{-2} \times \mathrm{E}^{2} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}$

${\mathrm{E}=\sqrt{2} \times 10^{3}\, \mathrm{kV} / \mathrm{m}}$

${=1.4\, \mathrm{kV} / \mathrm{m}}$
