| Physics Energy in EM waves?
The magnetic field in a traveling EM wave has an rms strength of 40.3 nT. How long does it take to deliver 220 J of energy to 1.40 cm2 of a wall that it hits perpendicularly? (in days ) __ here is how I would do it: B= 40.3nT A=1.40cm2=1.96e-4 m2 U=220J S=cB2/mo (3e8)(40.3e-9)2/ 4pi x10-7 =0.3877 W/m2 t= U/AS t=220J/(1.96e-4)(0.3877) t=2895148.258s=33.5days I've try 33 and 34 and 33.5 But, the system still tells me that it's the wrong answer. Help? |
