The correct Answer is:
To find the average energy density of the electric field in an electromagnetic wave, we can use the formula: \[ u = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 E^2 \] where: - \( u \) is the average energy density, - \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space, and - \( E \) is the amplitude of the electric field. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Frequency \( f = 1 \times 10^{14} \) Hz (not directly needed for this calculation). - Amplitude of electric field \( E = 4 \, \text{V/m} \). - Permittivity of free space \( \epsilon_0 = 8.8 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{C}^2/\text{N} \cdot \text{m}^2 \). 2. **Substitute the values into the formula:** \[ u = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 E^2 \] \[ u = \frac{1}{2} \times (8.8 \times 10^{-12}) \times (4)^2 \] 3. **Calculate \( E^2 \):** \[ E^2 = 4^2 = 16 \] 4. **Now substitute \( E^2 \) back into the equation:** \[ u = \frac{1}{2} \times (8.8 \times 10^{-12}) \times 16 \] 5. **Perform the multiplication:** \[ u = \frac{1}{2} \times 140.8 \times 10^{-12} \] \[ u = 70.4 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{J/m}^3 \] 6. **Final calculation:** \[ u = 7.04 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{J/m}^3 \] ### Conclusion: The average energy density of the electric field is \( 7.04 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{J/m}^3 \).
