A ball of radius R=50 cm is located in a non- magnetic medium with permittivityepsilon=4.0 . In that mediuma plane electromagnetic wave propagates, the strength amplitude of whose electri component is equal to E_(m) = 200 V //m. What amount of energy reaches the ball during a time interval t=1.0 min ?

Answer»

Solution :For the Poynting vector we can derive as
`lt S gt = (1)/(2) sqrt((epsilon epsilon_(0))/(mu_(0))) E_(m)^(2)` along the DIRECTION of propagation.
Hence in time `t`(which is much longer than the time period `I` of the wave, the enegry reaching the BALL is
`piR^(2) XX (1)/(2) sqrt((epsilon epsilon_(0))/(mu_(0))) E_(m)^(2)XXT = 5 kJ`.
