Find the intensity of EMW wave?
Asked by rajuharan | 12th Mar, 2017, 07:40: PM
Expert Answer:
Intensity is the energy delivered per unit area per unit time.
Now, the energy transported by an electromagnetic wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude E2, of the wave.
Hence, the intensity is
where c is the speed of light and μ0 is the permeability of free space.
