A) The magnetic field doubles as well

The relationship between rms value of the electric field and rms value of the magnetic field for an electromagnetic wave is the following:

E_{rms}=cB_{rms}

where

E_rms is the magnitude of the electric field

c is the speed of light

B_rms is the magnitude of the magnetic field

From the equation, we see that the electric field and the magnetic field are directly proportional: therefore, if the rms value of the electric field is doubled, then the rms value of the magnetic field will double as well.

B) The intensity will quadruple

The intensity of an electromagnetic wave is given by

I=\frac{1}{2}c\epsilon_0 E_0^2

where

c is the speed of light

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

E_0 is the peak intensity of the electric field

The rms value of the electric field is related to the peak value by

E_{rms}=\frac{E_0}{\sqrt{2}}

So we can rewrite the equation for the intensity as

I=c\epsilon_0 E_{rms}^2

we see that the intensity is proportional to the square of the rms value of the electric field: therefore, if the rms value of the electric field is doubled, the average intensity of the wave will quadruple.

Answer:

Well,

Explanation:

In a wave, energy is transported without the transport of water. Basically, a wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium, transporting energy from one location to another location without transporting matter.

What is the reason so many poisonings go undetected at first?
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Poisonings mostly have no taste or smell. Thallium is one of the poisons that are hard to detect. Most of these poisons are always prescribed to many patients and can be misused. We also have to take into consideration thay poisoning attacks our immune system and internal organs. Side effects of poisoning are flue like. So when the individual is feeling ill. nobody is going to think it’s poison at first until about 30 mins to an hour. that’s why it takes so long to be undetected at first. because of the symptoms, smell, taste..... it can really be easy to poison someone
