Answer:
7.78x10^-8T
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pointing Vector S is
S = (1/μ0) E × B
at any instant, where S, E, and B are vectors. Since E and B are always perpendicular in an EM wave,
S = (1/μ0) E B
where S, E and B are magnitudes. The average value of the Pointing Vector is
<S> = [1/(2 μ0)] E0 B0
where E0 and B0 are amplitudes. (This can be derived by finding the rms value of a sinusoidal wave over an integer number of wavelengths.)
Also at any instant,
E = c B
where E and B are magnitudes, so it must also be true at the instant of peak values
E0 = c B0
Substituting for E0,
<S> = [1/(2 μ0)] (c B0) B0 = [c/(2 μ0)] (B0)²
Solve for B0.
Bo = √ (0.724x2x4πx10^-7/ 3 x10^8)
= 7.79 x10 ^-8 T
