Problem 4.219

An electromagnetic wave emitted by an elementary dipole propagates in vacuum so that in the far field zone the mean value of the energy flow density is equal to \(S_{0}\) at the point removed from the dipole by a distance \(r\) along the perpendicular drawn to the dipole's axis. Find the mean radiation power of the dipole.

Reveal Answer
P=8/3πr2S0\langle P\rangle={ }^{8 / 3} \pi r^{2} S_{0}
