Answer:

1.6 x 10⁻⁶ J/m³

Step-by-step explanation:

I = Intensity of electromagnetic radiation = 475 Wm⁻²

U = average total energy density of electromagnetic radiation

c = speed of electromagnetic radiation = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Intensity of electromagnetic radiation is given as


I = Uc

Inserting the values


475 = U (3* 10^(8))

U = 1.6 x 10⁻⁶ J/m³
