  1. Sarah is using a device which radiates electromagnetic wave uniformly in all direction. The information on this device specifies that the amplitude of electric field is 3.50 N/C at the distance of 10 m from source. What would be the amplitude of electric field for this device at the distance of 20 m? (20 points)
