The electric field in an electromagnetic wave is given as $\vec{E} = 20 \sin \omega (t - \frac{x}{c}) \hat{j} \text{ N/C}$. Where $\omega$ and $c$ are the angular frequency and velocity of the electromagnetic wave,respectively. The energy contained in a volume of $5 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}^3$ will be $..... \times 10^{-13} \text{ J}$. (Given $\varepsilon_0 = 8.85 \times 10^{-12} \text{ C}^2/\text{Nm}^2$)

Suppose that the intensity of a laser is $\left(\frac{315}{\pi}\right) \ W/m^2$. The $rms$ electric field,in units of $V/m$,associated with this source is close to the nearest integer. Given: $\epsilon_0 = 8.86 \times 10^{-12} \ C^2 N^{-1} m^{-2}$ and $c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$.
