In conventional television, signals are broadcast from towers to home receivers. Even when a receiver is not in direct view of a tower because of a hill or building, it can still intercept a signal if the signal diffracts enough around the obstacle, into the obstacle鈥檚 鈥渟hadow region.鈥 Previously, television signals had a wavelength of about 50cm, but digital television signals that are transmitted from towers have a wavelength of about 10mm. (a) Did this change in wavelength increase or decrease the diffraction of the signals into the shadow regions of obstacles? Assume that a signal passes through an opening of 5mwidth between two adjacent buildings. What is the angular spread of the central diffraction maximum (out to the first minima) for wavelengths of (b)localid="1664270683913" 50cmand (c) localid="1664270678997" 10mm?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The change in wavelength decreases the diffraction of the signal into a shadow region is the obstacle.

(b) The angular spread is11.4.

(c) The angular spread is 0.23.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

Previously signal wavelength is 50cmand for digital television, the signal wavelength is 10mm.

The slit width,a=5m.

02

Determine the formulas to calculate the diffraction of the signal and angular spread of the signal

The expression for the minima in the diffraction pattern is given as follows.

asin=m (1)

Here, ais the slit width, is the wavelength,mis the number of fringes in the envelope, andlocalid="1663139465827" is the angle of diffraction

03

Determine the formulas to calculate the diffraction of the signal.

From equation (1), it can be concluded that the angle of the diffraction is directly proportional to the wavelength.

Since the wavelength decreases from 50cmto 10mm. Therefore, the angle of diffraction is also decreases. Thus, decreasing the diffraction of the signal into a shadow region is the obstacle.

Hence decreasing the diffraction of the signal into a shadow region is the obstacle.

04

Calculate the angular spread for the wavelength 50 cm.

Recall the equation (1),

asin=msin=ma=sin-1ma (2)

The angular spread is double of the angle of diffraction.

Multiply the equation (2) by 2.

2=sin-1ma

Substitute 1for m, 50cmfor , and 5mforainto the above equation.

localid="1664271350398" 2=2sin-115010-2m5m2=2sin-10.12=25.732=11.4

Hence the angular spread is11.4.

05

Calculate the angular spread for the wavelength 10 mm.

Recall the equation (1),

asin=msin=ma=sin-1ma (3)

The angular spread is double of the angle of diffraction.

Multiply the equation (3) by 2.

2=sin-1ma

Substitute 1for m, 10mmfor , and 5mfor ainto the above equation.

localid="1664271363740" 2=2sin-111010-3m5m2=2sin-1210-32=20.1142=0.23

Hence the angular spread is 0.23.
