A plane electromagnetic wave, has frequency of 2 . 0 × 10 10 Hz and its energy density is 1 . 02 × 10 - 8 J m - 3 in vacuum. The amplitude of the magnetic field of the wave is close to 1 4 πε 0 = 9 × 10 9 Nm 2 C 2 and speed of light = 3 × 10 8 m s - 1 .

Options

  1. A150   nT
  2. B160   nT
  3. C180   nT
  4. D190   nT

Correct answer

B. 160   nT

Step-by-step solution

Energy Denisty = 1 2 B 2 μ 0 B = 2 × μ 0 ×  Energy density  B = 2 × 4 π × 10 - 7 × 1 . 02 × 10 - 8 = 160 × 10 - 9 = 160 nT
