The energy of an electromagnetic wave contained in a small volume oscillates with
Options
- ADouble the frequency of the wave
- BThe frequency of the wave
- CHalf the frequency of the wave
- DZero frequency
Correct answer
A. Double the frequency of the wave
Step-by-step solution
The formula to calculate the energy confined within the electric component of an electromagnetic wave can be written as u E = 1 2 ε 0 E 2 d V       . . . 1 Let's assume that the equation of the electric component is given by E = E 0   sin ω t + ϕ       . . . 2 Substitute the expression for the electric field component from equation (2) into equation (1) and simplify to obtain the expression for the energy confined within the small volume d V . u E = 1 2 ε 0
