Answer

a. 66 V/m b. 5.8 W/m$^2$

Work Step by Step

a. Use equation 22–2. $$c=\frac{E}{B}$$ Here, E and B are the magnitudes of the electric and magnetic fields at the same point in space. Both fields reach their maximum at the same place. $$E=Bc=(2.2\times10^{-7}T)(3.00\times10^8m/s)=66V/m$$ b. Find the intensity using equation 22-8. $$\overline{I}=\frac{E_oB_o}{2\mu_o}$$ $$=\frac{E_oB_o}{2\mu_o}=\frac{(66V/m)(2.2\times10^{-7}T)}{2(4 \pi\times10^{-7}Tm/A)}$$ $$=5.8W/m^2$$
