Answer:

The intensity of the EM wave is 5.729 W/m²

The rms value of the electric field is 46.452 V/m

Explanation:

Given;

power of the electromagnetic wave, P = 1800 W

The intensity of light is given by;

I = P / A

Where;

A is the surface area of the sphere = 4πr²

A is the surface area of the sphere = 4π(5)²

A is the surface area of the sphere = 314.2 m²

The intensity is calculated as;

I = P / A

I = (1800) / (314.2)

I = 5.729 W/m²

The rms value of the electric field is given by;

E_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{I}{c \epsilon _o}}\\\\E_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{5.729}{(3*10^8)( 8.85*10^{-12})}}\\\\E_{rms} = 46.452 \ V/m

What is the first law of conservation of energy? How is the law applicable to the earths energy balance
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

First law of thermodynamic state that energy is always conserved, in other word, energy cannot be created or destroyed.

This means that energy can only transfer from one source to another.

For example, the electricity we used to power our phone didn't come from nowhere.

We charge our phone using the energy from the electricity from the outlet.

The outlet gets its energy from the power plant, who generated that energy from burning coal.

The coal they burned got their energy while they were alive as plants.

The plants got their energy from the sun.

The sun got its energy from other cosmic stuff and so on...

My point is that the energy we use will always cycle around. It doesn't come from thin air and it doesn't disappear into thin air either. This help keeps things balance because if energy is created out of thin air then the earth might just blow up. If energy gets erased into thin air then there'll be nothing to fuel life.

What pollutant forms when automobile emissions react with oxygen gas and ultraviolet rays?
creativ13 [48]

Ozone is a molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms. When high-energy ultraviolet rays strike ordinary oxygen molecules (O2), they split the molecule into two single oxygen atoms, known as atomic oxygen. A freed oxygen atom then combines with another oxygen molecule to form a molecule of ozone.  Hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides come from great variety of industrial and combustion processes. Motor vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents are some of the major sources of NOx and VOC that acts as a precursor of ozone. In urban areas, the number of automobiles are more and therefore, more production of such harmful gases. These gases in presence of sunlight leads to the formation of bad ozone.

A sound wave produce by a chime 515 m away is heard 1.50 s later.What is the speed of the sound in air?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

the seed of the sound in the air is 343.3 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the speed of the sound in the air is shown below:

As we know that

Speed = Distance divided by Time

So, here speed be 515m

And, the time is 1.50 second

So, the speed of the sound is

= 515m divided by 1.50 seconds

= 343.3 m/s

hence, the speed of the sound in the air is 343.3 m/s
