Q83 / 90 · JEE Main 2024 (27 Jan Shift 1) · Physics

A plane electromagnetic wave propagating in x-direction is described by
Ey=200 V m-1sin1.5×107t-0.05x; The intensity of the wave is :
(Use ϵ0=8.85×10-12 C2 N-1 m-2)

  • A
    35.4 W m-2
  • Correct answer
    B
    53.1 W m-2
  • C
    26.6 W m-2
  • D
    106.2 W m-2

Solution

The magnitude of the electric field component of the electromagnetic wave is given by

E0=200 V m-1

The formula to calculate the intensity of the electromagnetic wave is given by

I=12ε0cE02   ...1

From equation (1), it follows that

I=12×8.85×10-12×3×108×2002 W m-2=53.1 W m-2

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
