In an electromagnetic wave,the amplitude of the electric field is $1 \ V/m$. The frequency of the wave is $5 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$. The wave is propagating along the $z$-axis. The average energy density of the electric field,in $J/m^3$,will be:

  • A
    $1.1 \times 10^{-11}$
  • B
    $2.2 \times 10^{-12}$
  • C
    $3.3 \times 10^{-13}$
  • D
    $4.4 \times 10^{-14}$
