Energy Density & Intensity

A red LEDLED emits light at 0.10.1 watt uniformly around it. The amplitude of the electric field of the light at a distance of 1 m1\ m from the diode is:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. I=P4πr2=0.14π×12≈7.96×10−3 W/m2I = \dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2} = \dfrac{0.1}{4\pi \times 1^2} \approx 7.96 \times 10^{-3}\ \text{W/m}^2
  2. I=12ε0cE02⇒E0=2Iε0c=2×7.96×10−32.655×10−3I = \tfrac{1}{2}\varepsilon_0 c E_0^2 \Rightarrow E_0 = \sqrt{\dfrac{2I}{\varepsilon_0 c}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2 \times 7.96 \times 10^{-3}}{2.655 \times 10^{-3}}}
  3. E0=6.0≈2.45 V/mE_0 = \sqrt{6.0} \approx 2.45\ \text{V/m}, so the answer is (d).
