The amplitude of the electric field component of an electromagnetic wave is doubled. What is the corresponding change in the intensity of the wave?



Answer :

If the amplitude is doubled than the intensity will become 4 times of amplitude.

What is meant by intensity?

Intensity is the quality of being very strong, concentrated or difficult or the degree to which something is difficult or strong.

The intensity of a sound wave exists described as the amount of energy transmitted through a unit area per unit time in the direction of travel; it is a vector quantity with both a magnitude and a direction.

The amplitude of the sound waves and how far they have travelled from the sound source.

Intensity is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude .

So, if the amplitude is doubled than the intensity will become 4 times of amplitude.
