A plane electromagnetic wave is propagating through free space. If amplitude of electric field is 50 v/m, the intensity of the wave is

a
6.8 W/m2
b
12.5 W/m2
c
3.3 W/m2
d
2.1 W/m2

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Average energy density u¯=12ε0Em2∴Average intensityI=u¯c=12ε0cEm2⇒I=12×8.85×10−12×3×108×502W/m2=3.3W/m2
