The correct Answer is:
To find the amplitude of the electric field associated with the electromagnetic radiation at a distance of 10 m from the lamp, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the Power Output of the Lamp The lamp is 3% efficient in converting electrical power to electromagnetic waves and consumes 100 W of power. \[ \text{Power Output} (P) = \text{Efficiency} \times \text{Input Power} = 0.03 \times 100 \, \text{W} = 3 \, \text{W} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Surface Area of the Sphere at Distance 10 m The lamp emits light uniformly in all directions, so we can treat it as a point source. The surface area \( A \) of a sphere is given by: \[ A = 4 \pi r^2 \] Where \( r = 10 \, \text{m} \): \[ A = 4 \pi (10)^2 = 4 \pi \times 100 = 400 \pi \, \text{m}^2 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Intensity of the Radiation Intensity \( I \) is defined as power per unit area: \[ I = \frac{P}{A} = \frac{3 \, \text{W}}{400 \pi \, \text{m}^2} \] ### Step 4: Relate Intensity to Electric Field Amplitude The intensity of an electromagnetic wave can also be expressed in terms of the amplitude of the electric field \( E_0 \): \[ I = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 c E_0^2 \] Where: - \( \epsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{F/m} \) (permittivity of free space) - \( c = 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \) (speed of light) ### Step 5: Solve for Electric Field Amplitude \( E_0 \) Rearranging the equation gives: \[ E_0 = \sqrt{\frac{2I}{\epsilon_0 c}} \] ### Step 6: Substitute the Values First, calculate \( I \): \[ I = \frac{3}{400 \pi} \approx \frac{3}{1256.64} \approx 0.00239 \, \text{W/m}^2 \] Now substitute \( I \): \[ E_0 = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 0.00239}{8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 3 \times 10^8}} \] Calculating the denominator: \[ 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times 3 \times 10^8 \approx 2.655 \times 10^{-3} \] Now substitute this back into the equation for \( E_0 \): \[ E_0 = \sqrt{\frac{0.00478}{2.655 \times 10^{-3}}} = \sqrt{1.80} \approx 1.34 \, \text{V/m} \] ### Final Answer The amplitude of the electric field associated with the electromagnetic radiation at a distance of 10 m from the lamp is approximately: \[ E_0 \approx 1.34 \, \text{V/m} \] ---
