A Very Small Source of Light That Radiates Uniformly in All

question 38

Short Answer

A very small source of light that radiates uniformly in all directions produces an electric field amplitude of 2.96 V/m at a point 33.0 m from the source.What is the power output from the source? (c = 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s,μ₀ = 4π × 10^-7 T ∙ m/A,ε₀ = 8.85 × 10^-12 C²/N ∙ m²)
