To calculate the intensity of radiation emitted by a cell phone at a given frequency, you would need additional information beyond just the frequency. The intensity of radiation depends on factors such as the power output of the cell phone and the antenna characteristics.

However, if you have the power output of the cell phone available, you can use the following formula to estimate the intensity:

Intensity = Power / (4πr²)

Where:

  • Intensity is the power per unit area of the radiation.
  • Power is the power output of the cell phone.
  • r is the distance from the cell phone where you want to calculate the intensity.

It's important to note that this formula assumes that the radiation is spreading uniformly in all directions from the cell phone, which might not be the case in practice due to antenna design and other factors. The intensity of radiation also decreases with distance according to the inverse square law.

Please keep in mind that accurate measurements of radiation intensity emitted by a cell phone would require specialized equipment and should be conducted by qualified professionals to ensure proper calibration and adherence to safety guidelines and regulations.
