(b)

To determine

What is the maximum electric field strength at that distance?

(c)

To determine

What is the maximum magnetic field strength at that distance?

The ICNIRP also has guidelines for magnetic-field exposure for the general public. In the frequency range of 25 Hz to 3 kHz, this guideline states that the maximum allowed magnetic-field amplitude is 5>f T, where f is the frequency in kHz. Which is a more stringent limit on allowable electromagnetic-wave intensity in this frequency range: the electric-field guideline or the magnetic-field guideline? (a) The magnetic-field guideline, because at a given frequency the allowed magnetic field is smaller than the allowed electric field. (b) The electric-field guideline, because at a given frequency the allowed intensity calculated from the electric-field guideline is smaller. (c) It depends on the particular frequency chosen (both guidelines are frequency dependent). (d) Neither—for any given frequency, the guidelines represent the same electromagneticwave intensity
A receiver that is a 1000 km from a radio wave transmitter records an intensity of 2000 W/m2forincident radio waves.(a) What is the power of radio waves emitted by the transmitter? (b) What is the peak electric field strength of the received radio wave? (c) What is its peak magnetic field strength?  (d) Determine the wavelength of a 30 MHz radio wave, now travelling in water (speed of EMwaves in water = 2.26 x 108 m/s).
