If the intensity of an electromagnetic wave is $0.02 \ W/m^2$ and its velocity in free space is $3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$,then the energy density of the radiation is ..... $J/m^3$.

$A$ cube of unit volume contains $35 \times 10^7$ photons of frequency $10^{15} \text{ Hz}$. If the energy of all the photons is viewed as the average energy being contained in the electromagnetic waves within the same volume,then the amplitude of the magnetic field is $\alpha \times 10^{-9} \text{ T}$. Taking permeability of free space $\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ Tm/A}$,Planck's constant $h = 6 \times 10^{-34} \text{ Js}$ and $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$,the value of $\alpha$ is $.....$
