The ratio of contributions made by the electric field and magnetic field components to the intensity of an electromagnetic wave is

$A$ point light source emits electromagnetic ($E$.$M$.) waves in free space. $A$ detector, placed at a distance of $L \text{ m}$, measures the intensity as $I_o$. The detector is now shifted to another location on the same spherical surface, ensuring the angle between the original location and the new location is $45^{\circ}$. The measured intensity at the new location will be . . . . . . .

The electric field of an electromagnetic wave in free space is given by $\vec E = 10 \cos (10^7 t + kx) \hat j \, V/m$,where $t$ and $x$ are in seconds and metres respectively. It can be inferred that:
