Explanation 1) Concept: We use the wave speed relation, which is related to the amplitude of electric and magnetic field components. Using this relation, we can find the magnitude of the magnetic field component. Using intensity relation of wave, we can find its intensity. Using intensity and power relation, we can find the power of the source. 2) Formulae: i) c = E m B m ii) I = E m 2 2 μ 0 c iii) I = P 4 π r 2 3) Given: i) Amplitude of electric field E m = 2 V / m ii) Distance r = 10 m 4) Calculations: a) Maximum value of magnetic field component: The wave speed c and amplitudes of electric and magnetic fields are related as c = E m B m The amplitude of magnetic field comopnent in the wave is given by B m = E m c B m = 2 V m 3 × 10 8 m s B m = 6.7 × 10 - 9 T b) Average intensity of light: The time averaged rate per unit area at which energy is transported, S a v g , is called the intensity I of the wave
