Intensity of EM wave -

I = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon _{o} E_{o}^{2}c

- wherein

\epsilon _{o} = Permittivity of free space

E _{o} = Electric field amplitude

c = Speed of light in vacuum

 

I=Intensity\: of\: EM\: wave

I=\frac{Power}{Area}=\frac{27\times 10^{-3}}{10\times 10^{-6}}\cdots (1)

I=\frac{1}{2}\epsilon _{0}{E_{0}}^{2}C\cdots \left ( 2 \right )

(1) = (2)

\frac{27\times 10^{-3}}{10\times 10^{-6}}=\frac{1}{2}\times 9\times 10^{-12}\times E^{2}\times 3\times 10^{8}

\Rightarrow E=\sqrt{2}\times 10^{3}

E=1.4Kv/m

 


Option 1)

2 kV/m

Option 2)

1.4 kV/m

Option 3)

1 kV/m

Option 4)

0.7 kV/m
