A plane electromagnetic wave is incident on a material surface. If the wave delivers momentum $p$ and energy $E$, then

A radiation is emitted by $1000\, W$ bulb and it generates an electric field and magnetic field at $P$, placed at a distance of $2\, m$. The efficiency of the bulb is $1.25 \%$. The value of peak electric field at $P$ is $x \times 10^{-1} \,V / m$. Value of $x$ is. (Rounded-off to the nearest integer)

A plane electromagnetic wave of frequency $100\, MHz$ is travelling in vacuum along the $x -$ direction. At a particular point in space and time, $\overrightarrow{ B }=2.0 \times 10^{-8} \hat{ k } T$. (where, $\hat{ k }$ is unit vector along $z-$direction) What is $\overrightarrow{ E }$ at this point ?
