The correct Answer is:
To find the root mean square (RMS) value of the magnetic field corresponding to the mean intensity of radiation on the surface of the Sun, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Relationship Between Intensity and Electric Field**: The intensity \( I \) of electromagnetic radiation is related to the RMS value of the electric field \( E_{\text{rms}} \) by the equation: \[ I = \epsilon_0 c E_{\text{rms}}^2 \] where \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space and \( c \) is the speed of light. 2. **Relating Electric Field to Magnetic Field**: The RMS value of the electric field \( E_{\text{rms}} \) is also related to the RMS value of the magnetic field \( B_{\text{rms}} \) by the equation: \[ E_{\text{rms}} = c B_{\text{rms}} \] 3. **Substituting the Electric Field into the Intensity Equation**: Substitute \( E_{\text{rms}} = c B_{\text{rms}} \) into the intensity equation: \[ I = \epsilon_0 c (c B_{\text{rms}})^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ I = \epsilon_0 c^3 B_{\text{rms}}^2 \] 4. **Solving for \( B_{\text{rms}} \)**: Rearranging the equation to solve for \( B_{\text{rms}} \): \[ B_{\text{rms}}^2 = \frac{I}{\epsilon_0 c^3} \] Taking the square root gives: \[ B_{\text{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{I}{\epsilon_0 c^3}} \] 5. **Substituting Known Values**: We know: - The mean intensity \( I \) on the surface of the Sun is approximately \( 10^8 \, \text{W/m}^2 \). - The permittivity of free space \( \epsilon_0 \approx 8.854 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{F/m} \). - The speed of light \( c \approx 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \). Now substituting these values into the equation: \[ B_{\text{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{10^8}{8.854 \times 10^{-12} \times (3 \times 10^8)^3}} \] 6. **Calculating the Denominator**: First, calculate \( (3 \times 10^8)^3 \): \[ (3 \times 10^8)^3 = 27 \times 10^{24} \, \text{m}^3/\text{s}^3 \] Now multiply by \( \epsilon_0 \): \[ 8.854 \times 10^{-12} \times 27 \times 10^{24} \approx 2.39 \times 10^{13} \] 7. **Final Calculation**: Now substitute back into the equation: \[ B_{\text{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{10^8}{2.39 \times 10^{13}}} \approx \sqrt{4.18 \times 10^{-6}} \approx 2.04 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{T} \] This value is approximately \( 10^{-4} \, \text{T} \). ### Conclusion: Thus, the RMS value of the corresponding magnetic field is approximately \( 10^{-4} \, \text{T} \).
