Assume a bulb of efficiency $2.5\%$ as a point source. The peak value of the electric field produced by the radiation coming from a $100\, W$ bulb at a distance of $3\, m$ is approximately.....$V\,m^{-1}$.

$A$ point source of electromagnetic radiation has an average power output of $800\,W$. The maximum value of the electric field at a distance of $4.0\,m$ from the source is...$V/m$

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: $A$ time-varying electric field is a source of a changing magnetic field and vice-versa. Thus,a disturbance in an electric or magnetic field creates $EM$ waves.
Statement $II$: In a material medium,the $EM$ wave travels with speed $v = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}}}$.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
