The intensity of the light from a bulb incident on a surface is 0.22Wm−20 . 22W{m}^{- 2}. The amplitude of the magnetic field in this light-wave is _____ ×10−9T\times {10}^{- 9}T

(Given : Permittivity of vacuum ϵ0=8.85×10−12C2N−1m−2{ϵ}_{0} = 8 . 85 \times {10}^{- 12}{C}^{2}{N}^{- 1}{m}^{- 2}, speed of light in vacuum c=3×108ms−1c = 3 \times {10}^{8}{ms}^{- 1})

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

The intensity is defined as energy per unit time per unit area. Therefore, I=dEAdtI = \dfrac{dE}{Adt}.

Energy density is energy per unit volume. Therefore, Ud=dEAdx{U}_{d} = \dfrac{dE}{Adx}.

Dividing IUd=dxdt=c\dfrac{I}{{U}_{d}} = \dfrac{dx}{dt} = c

⇒Ud=Ic=0.223×108=223×10−10Jm−3⇒ {U}_{d} = \dfrac{I}{c} = \dfrac{0 . 22}{3 \times {10}^{8}} = \dfrac{22}{3} \times {10}^{- 10}J{m}^{- 3}

Magnetic energy density will be half of total energy density, Therefore, Ub=113×10−10Jm−3{U}_{b} = \dfrac{11}{3} \times {10}^{- 10}J{m}^{- 3}.

Now energy density in magnetic field is given by, Ub=B22μ0{U}_{b} = \dfrac{{B}^{2}}{2{\mu}_{0}}. Therefore,

Brms22μ0=113×10−10Jm−3{B}_{rms}^{2}2{\mu}_{0} = \dfrac{11}{3} \times {10}^{- 10}J{m}^{- 3} where Brms2=(B02)=B022{B}_{rms}^{2} = \left(\dfrac{{B}_{0}}{\sqrt{2}}\right) = {B}_{0}^{2}2

⇒B024μ0=113×10−10⇒B0=4×(4π×10−7)×113×10−10⇒B0=4.29×10−8T≃43×10−9T⇒ {B}_{0}^{2}4{\mu}_{0} = \dfrac{11}{3} \times {10}^{- 10} ⇒ {B}_{0} = \sqrt{4 \times \left(4\pi \times {10}^{- 7}\right) \times \dfrac{11}{3} \times {10}^{- 10}} ⇒ {B}_{0} = 4 . 29 \times {10}^{- 8}T ≃ 43 \times {10}^{- 9}T
