This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Consider and electromagnetic waves, let E be varying along y-axis, B is along z-axis and propagation of wave be along x-axis. Then E×B will tell the direction of propagation of
energy flow in electromagnetic wave, along x-axis.
E= E0sin (wt-kx)j
B=B0sin (wt=kx)k
So S will become sin2 (wt-kx)i
And its variation with time is given below

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
