Homework Statement
Assume that 10% of the energy dissipated by a 40W light bulb is radiated isotropically in the form of light. What is the magnitude of he E-field at a distance of 1m? What is it for sun light on the Earth's surface, given the Sun provides ~ 1400W/m2>
Homework Equations
Energy density = 1/2[tex]\epsilon[/tex][tex]_{}0[/tex]E[tex]^{}2[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
Ok so I know that we have 4W available, but how do I convert this into and energy per unit area on the surface or volume? I assume we have to use the equation for the energy denstiy of a magnetic field given above.
