Intensity in terms of electric field,  (I)electric field =12ε0E02·c

Intensity  in terms of magnetic fieId (I)magnetic filed =12B02μ0·c

Now, taking the intensity in terms of electric field,

(I)electric field =12ε0E02·c

    =12ε0cB02·c    E0=cB0

=12ε0×c2B02·c

But,    c=1μ0ε0

  (I)electric field =12ε0×1μ0ε0B02c

=12B02μ0·c

=(I)magnetic field 

Thus, the energy in electromagnetic wave is divided equally 'between electric field vector and magnetic field vector.
Therefore, the ratio of contributions by the electric field and magnetic field components to the intensity of an electromagnetic wave is 1 : 1.
