A point source of emits light with efficiency. At a distance of from the source, the intensity produced by the electric field component is:
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
- Useful power emitted as light
The source has total power and emits light with efficiency.
So, radiant power in the form of light is
- Intensity at distance
For a point source radiating uniformly in all directions,
Substituting values:
- Intensity due to electric field component
In an electromagnetic wave, the energy is equally shared by electric and magnetic fields.
Hence, intensity associated with the electric field component is
- Match with options
So the correct option is A.
