Claude Fable 5.1 reasoning
Energy density: u = N h f / V = 35×10⁷ × 6×10⁻³⁴ × 10¹⁵ = 21×10⁻¹¹ = 2.1×10⁻¹⁰ J/m³. Average energy density of EM wave: u = B₀²/(2μ₀). B₀² = 2μ₀u = 2 × 4π×10⁻⁷ × 2.1×10⁻¹⁰ = 8 × (22/7) × 2.1 × 10⁻¹⁷ = 8 × 6.6 × 10⁻¹⁷ = 52.8×10⁻¹⁷ = 5.28×10⁻¹⁶ B₀ = √5.28 × 10⁻⁸ ≈ 2.298×10⁻⁸ T ≈ 23 × 10⁻⁹ T. So α ≈ 23.
