    a) 7.02 W/m²

    b) 1.53 J

    Explanation:

    Given

    Amplitude of the electric wave, = 72.7 V/m

    Area of flow, A = 0.0211 m²

    Time taken, t = 10.3 s

    To calculate the Intensity, S. We use the formula

    I = E (rms) ² / (cμ), where

    E (rms) = E / √2 = 72.7 / √2

    E (rms) = 72.7 / 1.4142

    E (rms) = 51.41

    c = 2.99*10^8

    μ = 1.26*10^-6

    I = 51.41² / [ (2.99*10^8) (1.26 x 10^-6) ]

    I = 2642.99 / 376.74

    I = 7.02 W/m²

    U = energy = IAt

    U = (7.02) * (0.0211) (10.3) J = 1.53 J
