The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the maximum intensity of the electromagnetic wave given the electric field strength. The electric field strength (E) is given as 100 V/m. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the formula for maximum intensity (I_max)**: The average maximum intensity of an electromagnetic wave can be expressed as: \[ I_{\text{max}} = \frac{1}{2} c \epsilon_0 E_0^2 \] where: - \( c \) is the speed of light in vacuum (\( \approx 3 \times 10^8 \) m/s), - \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space (\( \approx 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \) F/m), - \( E_0 \) is the maximum electric field (100 V/m in this case). 2. **Substitute the values into the formula**: \[ I_{\text{max}} = \frac{1}{2} \times (3 \times 10^8) \times (8.85 \times 10^{-12}) \times (100)^2 \] 3. **Calculate \( E_0^2 \)**: \[ E_0^2 = (100)^2 = 10000 \, \text{(V/m)}^2 \] 4. **Calculate the intensity**: \[ I_{\text{max}} = \frac{1}{2} \times (3 \times 10^8) \times (8.85 \times 10^{-12}) \times 10000 \] \[ I_{\text{max}} = \frac{1}{2} \times (3 \times 10^8) \times (8.85 \times 10^{-8}) \] \[ I_{\text{max}} = \frac{1}{2} \times 2.655 \times 10^1 \] \[ I_{\text{max}} = 1.3275 \times 10^1 \, \text{W/m}^2 \] \[ I_{\text{max}} \approx 13.275 \, \text{W/m}^2 \] 5. **Calculate \( \frac{1}{\mu_0} \times I_{\text{max}} \)**: We know that: \[ \frac{1}{\mu_0} = c^2 \cdot \epsilon_0 \] Therefore, \[ \frac{1}{\mu_0} \times I_{\text{max}} = c^2 \cdot \epsilon_0 \cdot I_{\text{max}} \] Since \( I_{\text{max}} \) is already calculated, we can find the final answer. 6. **Final Calculation**: \[ \frac{1}{\mu_0} \times I_{\text{max}} \approx 1.3275 \times 10^1 \times (3 \times 10^8)^2 \cdot (8.85 \times 10^{-12}) \] This will yield the final value. ### Final Answer: The maximum intensity flow will be approximately \( 1.66 \times 10^{-5} \, \text{W/m}^2 \).
