JEE Main & Advanced Physics EM Waves Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Electromagnetic Waves

  • question_answer
    The rms value of the electric field of the light coming from the Sun is\[720\text{ }N/C\]. The average total energy density of the electromagnetic wave is

    A) \[4.58\times {{10}^{-6}}J/{{m}^{3}}\]

    B)       \[6.37\times {{10}^{-9}}J/{{m}^{3}}\]

    C) \[81.35\times {{10}^{-12}}J/{{m}^{3}}\]       

    D) \[3.3\times {{10}^{-3}}J/{{m}^{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[{{E}_{rms}}=720\] The average total energy density \[=\frac{1}{2}{{\in }_{0}}E_{0}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}{{\in }_{0}}{{[\sqrt{2}{{E}_{rms}}]}^{2}}={{\in }_{0}}E_{rms}^{2}\] \[=8.85\times {{10}^{-12}}\times {{(720)}^{2}}=4.58\times {{10}^{-6}}\,J/{{m}^{3}}\]
