and with magnetic fields is 
for an electromagnetic wave in free space. Then:
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
JEE Main 2019
Average energy density of magnetic field,
Average energy density of electric field,
Now, 
and 
Since energy density of electric and magnetic field is same, so energy associated with equal volume will be equal i.e.
