The correct Answer is:
To find the amplitude of the electric field strength \( E_0 \) at a distance \( r \) from a lamp radiating power \( P_0 \) uniformly in all directions, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between power, intensity, and area The intensity \( I \) of the radiation is defined as the power per unit area. For a point source radiating uniformly in all directions, the area \( A \) over which the power is spread at a distance \( r \) is the surface area of a sphere, given by: \[ A = 4\pi r^2 \] Thus, the intensity \( I \) can be expressed as: \[ I = \frac{P_0}{A} = \frac{P_0}{4\pi r^2} \] ### Step 2: Relate intensity to electric field strength The intensity \( I \) is also related to the electric field strength \( E_0 \) by the formula: \[ I = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 c E_0^2 \] where \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space and \( c \) is the speed of light in vacuum. ### Step 3: Equate the two expressions for intensity From the two expressions for intensity, we can set them equal to each other: \[ \frac{P_0}{4\pi r^2} = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 c E_0^2 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( E_0 \) Rearranging the equation to solve for \( E_0^2 \): \[ E_0^2 = \frac{P_0}{2\pi r^2 \epsilon_0 c} \] Taking the square root gives: \[ E_0 = \sqrt{\frac{P_0}{2\pi r^2 \epsilon_0 c}} \] ### Final Result Thus, the amplitude of the electric field strength \( E_0 \) at a distance \( r \) from the lamp is: \[ E_0 = \sqrt{\frac{P_0}{2\pi r^2 \epsilon_0 c}} \] ---
