Options:

electric field only

magnetic field only

equally with electric and magnetic fields

average energy density is zero

Correct Answer:

equally with electric and magnetic fields

Explanation:

In an electromagnetic wave, the average energy density is associated equally with electric and magnetic fields. The energy per unit volume called energy density (u) is the sum of energy density from the electric field and magnetic field
