Step 1
1 km from the radio station. Power density is the amount of power per unit area. The power density (S) of an isotropic point source is given by the formula: S = P / (4πr^2) where P is the power radiated by the source and r is the distance from the source. In Show more…

A microwave transmitter emits electromagnetic waves of a single wavelength. The maximum electric field 3.15 km from the transmitter is 136 mV/m. Assuming that the transmitter is a point source, calculate the maximum magnetic field at this distance. Calculate the total power emitted by the transmitter.

A point source of light produces a light that has an intensity of 2.80 mW/m2, measured at a point 1.0 m from the source. Determine the amplitude of the electric and magnetic fields at that position. {86.8 V/m, 0.289 mT } Calculate the range of wavelengths for the broadcast frequencies found on the AM band. {187 – 566 m}
