An observer is at 2 m from an isotropic point source of light emitting 40 W power. What are the rms values of the electric and magnetic fields due to the source at the position of the observer ? [c=3xx10^(8)ms^(-1), epsilon_(0)=8.854xx10^(-12)C^(2)N^(-1)m^(-2)] |

Answer» Solution :INTENSITY `I=(P)/(A)` `therefore epsilon_(0)c E_(rms)^(2)=(P)/(4PI R^(2))` `therefore E_(rms)=SQRT((P)/(4pi R^(2)epsilon_(0)c)) "" (P=40 W, R=2m)` `therefore E_(rms)=sqrt((40)/(12.56xx4xx8.85xx3xx10^(-12)xx10^(8)))` `=sqrt((10xx10^(4))/(331.875))` `=17.3 Vm^(-1)` Now, `B_(rms)=(E_(rms))/(c )=(17.3)/(3)xx10^(-8)=5.77xx10^(-8)T`. |
