Correct answer: 194

  1. For an electromagnetic wave, the average intensity is related to the rms electric field by

I=cε0Erms2I = c\varepsilon_0 E_{\mathrm{rms}}^2I=cε0​Erms2​

So,

Erms=Icε0E_{\mathrm{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{I}{c\varepsilon_0}}Erms​=cε0​I​​

  1. Given:

I=315π W/m2,ε0=8.86×10−12,c=3×108I = \frac{315}{\pi}\ \text{W/m}^2, \qquad \varepsilon_0 = 8.86\times 10^{-12}, \qquad c = 3\times 10^8I=π315​ W/m2,ε0​=8.86×10−12,c=3×108

Substitute:

Erms=315/π(3×108)(8.86×10−12)E_{\mathrm{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{315/\pi}{(3\times 10^8)(8.86\times 10^{-12})}}Erms​=(3×108)(8.86×10−12)315/π​​

  1. First compute the denominator:

cε0=3×108×8.86×10−12=26.58×10−4=2.658×10−3c\varepsilon_0 = 3\times 10^8 \times 8.86\times 10^{-12} = 26.58\times 10^{-4} = 2.658\times 10^{-3}cε0​=3×108×8.86×10−12=26.58×10−4=2.658×10−3

Thus,

Erms2=315/π2.658×10−3E_{\mathrm{rms}}^2 = \frac{315/\pi}{2.658\times 10^{-3}}Erms2​=2.658×10−3315/π​

  1. Now,

315π≈100.27\frac{315}{\pi} \approx 100.27π315​≈100.27

So,

Erms2≈100.270.002658≈37724E_{\mathrm{rms}}^2 \approx \frac{100.27}{0.002658} \approx 37724Erms2​≈0.002658100.27​≈37724

Therefore,

Erms≈37724≈194.2 V/mE_{\mathrm{rms}} \approx \sqrt{37724} \approx 194.2\ \text{V/m}Erms​≈37724​≈194.2 V/m

  1. Nearest integer:

194\boxed{194}194​
