    The electric field intensity produced by the radiations coming from \[100\text{ }W\] bulb at a \[3\text{ }m\] distance is E. The electric field intensity produced by the radiations coming from 50 W bulb at the same distance is

    A) \[\frac{\operatorname{E}}{2}\]

    B) 2E

    C) \[\frac{\operatorname{E}}{\sqrt{2}}\]

    D) \[\sqrt{2}\]E

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Option [c] is correct.
    Explanation: We know that,               
    \[{{E}_{0}}\propto \sqrt{{{P}_{a\operatorname{v}}}}\]
    \[\frac{{{({{\operatorname{E}}_{0}})}_{1}}}{{{({{\operatorname{E}}_{0}})}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{({{\operatorname{P}}_{a\operatorname{v}}})}_{1}}}{{{({{\operatorname{P}}_{a\operatorname{v}}})}_{2}}}}=\sqrt{\frac{100W}{50\operatorname{W}}}=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{1}\]
    \[\therefore {{({{\operatorname{E}}_{0}})}_{2}}=\frac{{{({{\operatorname{E}}_{0}})}_{1}}}{\sqrt{2}}\]
