an electromagnetic wave has an electric field with peak value 120. What is the averge energy delievered to a surface

The average energy delivered to a surface is 19.116 W/m².

Explanation:

Given;

maximum electric field, E₀ = 120 v/m

The average energy delivered by the wave to a surface is given by

where;

c is the speed of light, = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

ε₀ is the permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² c²/Nm²

Therefore, the average energy delivered to a surface is 19.116 W/m².

frequency or wavelenth of em radiation in a vacuum

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.
