The ionosphere is the region 50 km to 500 km above Earth's surface, where gas molecules are ionized by ultraviolet radiation from the sun. After the continuous processes of ionization and recombination reach a steady state, a steady continuous distribution of electron and positive ion densities is formed. Since the mass of positive ions is much greater than that of electrons, only electrons oscillate due to the influence of the electric field.

Assume the electron number density in the ionosphere is `n`, the electron charge is `\( −e \)`, and the mass is `m`. Now, when an electromagnetic wave with angular frequency `ω` enters the ionosphere, assume that the magnitude of the electric field changes only with the `z-coordinate` and time, it is represented as a function `E(z,t)`

Assume that even with the redistribution of electrons caused by electromagnetic wave disturbances, the charge density in the ionosphere is still very small and the contribution of the charges to the electric field can be neglected.

Take `μ₀` and `\( ϵ_0 \)` as the permeability and permittivity of free space, respectively.

In certain cases, the transmitted wave quickly loses energy. Find the ratio of intensity after \\(1 \\;\\mathrm{m}\\) of travel and the intensity just after entering the ionosphere for the wave whose data is given below. Give the answer as a numeric valueto only one significant digit.

Values to be used:

`n=2.2×10⁸ cm^(−3) `

`\( μ_0 = 1.256637061\times 10^{-6} \;\mathrm{H/m} \)`

`\( ϵ_0=8.854187817\times 10^{ −12} \;\mathrm{ F/m} \)`

`m=9.1×10^(−31) kg` 

`\( e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\;\mathrm{ C} \)` 

`\( \omega = 800 \times 10^6 \mathrm{rad/s} \)`

Think step by step and solve the problem below. At the end of your response, write your final answer on a new line starting with “FINAL ANSWER”. It should be an answer to the question such as providing a number, mathematical expression, formula, or entity name, without any extra commentary or providing multiple answer attempts.
