If the amplitude of the magnetic field in a travelling plane electromagnetic wave is \(2.2 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~T}\), then the intensity of the wave is nearly

  1. A \(5.8 \times 106 \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}\)
  2. B \(4.2 \times 106 \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}\)
  3. C \(1.2 \times 107 \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}\)
  4. D \(8.8 \times 105 \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5.8 \times 106 \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I=\frac{B_0^2 C}{2 \mu_0}=\frac{\left(2.2 \times 10^{-4}\right)^2 \times 3 \times 10^8}{2 \times 4 \pi \times 10^{-7}}\) \(=5.8 \times 10^6 \mathrm{Wm}^{-2}\)
