The energy flow per unit time per unit area (S) of an electromagnetic wave has an average value of 310 mW/m2. The maximum value of the magnetic field in the wave is closest to:

5.096*10^-8

Explanation:

Given that

The average value of the electromagnetic wave is 310 mW/m²

To find the maximum value of the magnetic field the wave is closest to, we say

Emax = √Erms

Emax = √[(2 * 0.310 * 3*10^8 * 4π*10^-7)]

Emax = √233.7648

Emax = 15.289

Now, with our value of maximum electromagnetic wave gotten, we divide it by speed of light to get our final answer

15.289 / (3*10^8) = 5.096*10^-8 T

Suffice to say, The maximum value of the magnetic field in the wave is closest to 5.096*10^-8
