AI Generated Solution

To find the amplitude of the electric field (E_m) of sunlight near the surface of the Earth, we can use the relationship between intensity (I) and the electric field amplitude in electromagnetic waves. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the relationship between intensity and electric field amplitude:** The intensity (I) of an electromagnetic wave is given by the formula: \[ I = \frac{E_m^2}{2 \mu_0 c} ...
