    A lamp emits monochromatic green light uniformly in all directions. The lamp is 3% efficient in converting electrical power to electromagnetic waves and consumes 100 W of power. The amplitude of the electric field associated with the electromagnetic radiation at a distance of 5 m from the lamp will be nearly:   [JEE Main Online Paper ( Held On 12 Apirl  2014 )

    A) 1.34 V/m                             

    B) 2.68 V/m

    C) 4.02 V/m                             

    D)  5.36 V/m

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Wavelength of monochromatic green light \[=5.5\times {{10}^{-5}}cm\] Intensity \[\text{I=}\frac{\text{Power}}{\text{Area}}\] \[\text{=}\frac{100\times \left( 3/100 \right)}{4\pi {{\left( 5 \right)}^{2}}}\]          \[\text{=}\frac{3}{100\pi }W{{m}^{-2}}\] Now, half of this intensity (I) belongs to electric field and half of that to magnetic field, therefore, \[\frac{I}{2}=\frac{1}{4}{{\varepsilon }_{0}}E_{0}^{2}C\]                or\[{{E}_{0}}=\sqrt{\frac{2I}{{{\varepsilon }_{0}}C}}\] \[=\sqrt{\frac{2\times \left( \frac{3}{100}\pi  \right)}{\left( \frac{1}{4\pi \times 9\times {{10}^{9}}} \right)\times \left( 3\times {{10}^{8}} \right)}}\] \[=\sqrt{\frac{6}{25}\times 30}\]                              \[=\sqrt{7.2}\] \[\therefore \]\[{{E}_{0}}=2.68V/m\]
