    = 3.869 * 10^-6 J/m³

    Explanation:

    Intensity is given as W/m^2 which is equivalent to J / (s*m^2)

    Speed of light is 2.99792 * 10^8 m/s.

    Therefore;

    Electromagnetic energy per cubic meter = Intensity/speed of light

    = 1160 J / (s*m³) / 2.99792 * 10^8 m/s.

    = 3.869 * 10^-6 J/m³
