A plane EM wave travelling along z direction is described by E=Eosin(kz-wt)i and B=Bosin(kz-wt)j . show that
(i) The average energy density of the wave is given by Uav=1/4 +1/4Bo2/ o
(ii) The time averaged intensity of the wave is given by Iav=1/2c

(i) The average energy density of the wave is given by Uav=1/4 +1/4Bo2/ o
(ii) The time averaged intensity of the wave is given by Iav=1/2c
This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
(i) UE=
UB=
So total energy density = UE+ UB= +
E= Eo/ and B=Bo/
Uav= +
(ii) We know Eo=cBo and c = 1/
= 1/4 2
UE= UB

According to definition of displacement current, we can write
B0 = 42.9 × 10-9
42.9 Ans
s? = -? + k? ∴ s? = (-? +k? )/√2
I = P/ (4πr²) . (i)
and I = (1/2)ε? E? ²c . (ii)
From (i) and (ii)
P/ (4πr²) = (1/2)ε? E? ²c
E? = √ (2P/ (4πε? r²c) ; E? = √ (9×10? ×2×15)/ (15×15×10? ×3×10? ) = 2×10? ³ V/m
