Answer

(a) $1.0mW/m^2$ (b) $0.71KN/C$

Work Step by Step

(a) We know that $I_{\circ}=\frac{P}{A}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I_{\circ}=\frac{1.5\times 10^{-3}}{\pi\times (6\times 10^{-4})^2}$ $I_{\circ}=1.3274\times 10^3$ Now $I=I_{\circ}e^{-\mu d}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $I=(1.3274\times 10^3)e^{-(470)(0.03)}$ $\implies I=9.98\times 10^{-4}W/m^2=1.0mW/m^2$ (b) We know that $E=\sqrt{\frac{2I}{C\epsilon_{\circ}}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $E=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 9.98\times 10^{-4}}{3\times 10^8\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}}$ $E=0.71KN/C$
