The intensity of sunlight under the clear sky is 1030 W/m2 . How much electromagnetic energy is contained per cubic meter near the Earth’s surface? The speed of light is 2.99792 × 108 m/s. Answer in units of J/m3 .

What is the maximum radiation pressure that can be exerted by sunlight in space of intensity 3693 W/m2 on a flat black surface? The speed of light is 3 × 108 m/s. Answer in units of Pa.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Ans:-

Given data: I= 1030 W/m^2

Here intensity is given W/m^2 i.e J/(s*m^2)

But the answer needed in J/m^3

So,J/s*m^2 * s/m= J/m^3

electromagnetic energy = I/c

= 1030 J/(sm^2)/2.99792*10^8m/s

= 3.44*10^-6J/m^3

Let see another problem

P = I/c = 3693w/m^2/3*10^8m/s

P =1.23*10^-5 Pa

Two travelling sinosoidal electromagnetic waves, each with an intensity 5.0 W/m2 , interfere to form a standing wave. The resulting electric field E⃗ (z,t) has nodes (i.e., is zero at all times) at z=…,−2a,−a,0,a,2a,… with a = 7.0 m , and satisifes E⃗ (z,0)=0. Furthermore, the magnetic field B⃗ (z,t) is observed to point along ±i^ everywhere. You may take c = 3.0×108 m/s and 8.9×10−12 F/m .
