Explanation:

It is given that,

Power of EM waves, P = 1800 W

We need to find the intensity at a distance of 5 m. Also, the rms value of the electric field.

Intensity,

I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}\\\\I=\dfrac{1800}{4\pi\times (5)^2}\\\\I=5.72\ W/m^2

The formula that is used to find the rms value of the electric field is as follows :

I=\epsilon_o cE^2_{rms}

c is speed of light and \epsilon_o is permittivity of free space

So,

E_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{I}{\epsilon_o c}}\\\\E_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{5.72}{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 3\times 10^8}}\\\\E_{rms}=46.41\ V/m

Hence, this is the required solution.

Write a question about how changing temperature affects gas
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

"How does the volume of a gas kept at constant pressure change as its temperature is increased?"

Explanation:

One possible question can be:

"How does the volume of a gas kept at constant pressure change as its temperature is increased?"

The answer to this question is contained in Charle's law, which states that for a gas at constant pressure, the volume of the gas is proportional to its absolute temperature:

V\propto T

Or also written as

\frac{V}{T}=const.

By looking at this equation, we can find immediately the answer to our question: as the (absolute) temperature of the gas increases, the volume increases as well, by the same proportion.
