      The energy carried by any wave is proportional to its amplitude squared. For electromagnetic waves, this means intensity can be expressed as Iave=cϵ0E202, where \(I...The energy carried by any wave is proportional to its amplitude squared. For electromagnetic waves, this means intensity can be expressed as Iave=cϵ0E202, where Iave is the average intensity in W/m2, and E0 is the maximum electric field strength of a continuous sinusoidal wave. This can also be expressed in terms of the maximum magnetic field strength  and in terms of both electric and magnetic fields.
