Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here, \(v=\frac{\omega}{K}=\frac{6.27 \times 10^3}{2.09 \times 10^{-5}}\) \(=3 \times 10^8\) So, wave moving in vacuum Now, \(I =\left(\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0 E _0^2\right) c =\frac{1}{2} \varepsilon_0 E _0^2 \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_0 \varepsilon_0}}\)…
