In a plane \(EM\) wave, the electric field oscillates sinusoidally at a frequency of \(5 \times 10^{10} \mathrm{~Hz}\) and an amplitude of \(50 \mathrm{Vm}^{-1}\). The total average energy density of the electromagnetic field of the wave is _______. [Use \(\varepsilon_0=8.85 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{C}^2 / \mathrm{Nm}^2\) ]

Pick an option to check your answer.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1.106 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{Jm}^{-3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{E}}=\frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 \mathrm{E}^2\)

\(\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{E}}=\frac{1}{2} \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \times(50)^2\)

\(=1.106 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{m}^3\)
