The maximum magnitude of the magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave is 13.5 μΤ. (3396) Problem 3: 笄What is the average total energy density (in μ1m3) of this electromagnetic wave? Assume the wave is propagating in vacuum.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The average total energy density of this electromagnetic wave is [tex]72.5\ \mu\ J/m^3[/tex].

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnetic field [tex]B = 13.5\mu T[/tex]

We need to calculate the average total energy density

Using formula of energy density

[tex]Energy\ density =\dfrac{S}{c}[/tex]....(I)

Where, S = intensity

c = speed of light

We know that,

The intensity is given by

[tex]S = \dfrac{B^2c}{2\mu_{0}}[/tex]

Put the value of S in equation (I)

[tex]Energy\ density =\dfrac{\dfrac{B^2c}{2\mu_{0}}}{c}[/tex]

[tex]Energy\ density = \dfrac{(13.5\times10^{-6})^2}{2\times4\pi\times10^{-7}}[/tex]

[tex]Energy\ density = 0.0000725\ J/m^3[/tex]

[tex]Energy\ density = 72.5\times10^{-6}\ J/m^3[/tex]

[tex]Energy\ density = 72.5\ \mu\ J/m^3[/tex]

Hence, The average total energy density of this electromagnetic wave is [tex]72.5\ \mu\ J/m^3[/tex].
