An EM wave radiates outwards from a dipole antenna, with $\mathrm{E_{o}}$ as the amplitude of its electric field vector. The electric field $E_{o}$ which transports significant energy from the source falls off as
a) $1 / \mathrm{r}^{3}$
b) $1 / \mathrm{r}^{2}$
c) $1 / \mathrm{r}$
d) remains constant
