A thin, totally absorbing sheet of mass m, face area A, and specificheat isfully illuminated by a perpendicular beam of a plane electromagnetic wave. The magnitude of the maximum electric field of the wave is.What is the rateat which the sheet’s temperature increases due to the absorption of the wave?
A ray of white light traveling through fused quartz is incident at a quartz–air interface at angle.Assume that the index of refraction of quartz is at the red end of the visible range and at the blue end.If is(a) , (b),and (c),is the refracted light white, white dominated by the red end of the visible range, or white dominated by the blue end of the visible range, or is there no refracted light?
In Fig. 33-41, a beam of light, with intensityand polarization parallel to a y-axis, is sent into a system of two polarizing sheets with polarizing directions at angles of and to the y axis. What is the intensity of the light transmitted by the two-sheet system?

During a test, a NATO surveillance radar system, operating at at of power, attempts to detect an incoming stealth aircraft at.Assume that the radar beam is emitted uniformly over a hemisphere. (a) What is the intensity of the beam when the beam reaches the aircraft’s location? The aircraft reflects radar waves as though it has a cross-sectional area ofonly.(b) What is the power of the aircraft’s reflection? Assume that the beam is reflected uniformly over a hemisphere. Back at the radar site, what are (c) the intensity, (d) the maximum value of the electric field vector, and (e) the rms value of the magnetic field of the reflected radar beam?
Light in a vacuum is incident on the surface of a glass slab. In the vacuum, the beam makes an angle ofwith the normal to the surface, while in the glass it makes an angle ofwith the normal. What is the index of refraction of the glass?
