A plane electromagnetic wave has a maximum electric field magnitude of3.20×10-4V/m. Find the magnetic field amplitude.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnetic field amplitude is 1.067×10-12T.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

Maximum electric field magnitude Em=3.20×10-4V/m.

02

Understanding the concepts of magnetic field

The electric Emand magnetic fields Bmare related to the wave speed c as,

c=EmBm

03

Calculations of the magnetic field amplitude

The electric and the magnetic field are related as,

c=EmBm

Where c is the wave speed c=3.0×108m/s.

Rearranging the above expression as,

Bm=Emc

Substitute the values in the above expression, and we get,

Bm=3.20×10-4V/m3.0×108m/s=1.067×10-12T

Thus, the magnetic field amplitude is 1.067×10-12T.

Question: What is the radiation pressure 1.5maway from a 500wlight bulb? Assume that the surface on which the pressure is exerted faces the bulb and is perfectly absorbing and that the bulb radiates uniformly in all directions.

In Fig. 33-78, where n1=1.70, n2=1.50,andn3=1.30,light refracts from material 1 into material 2. If it is incident at point A at the critical angle for the interface between materials 2 and 3, what are (a) the angle of refraction at pointBand (b) the initialangleθ?If, instead, light is incident atBat the critical angle for the interface between materials 2 and 3, what are (c) the angle of refraction at pointAand (d) the initial angleθ? If, instead of all that, light is incident at point Aat Brewster’s angle for the interface between materials 2 and 3, what are (e) the angle of refraction at point B and (f) the initialangleθ?

Question: (a) How long does it take a radio signal to travel 150kmfrom a transmitter to a receiving antenna? (b) We see a full Moon by reflected sunlight. How much earlier did the light that enters our eye leave the Sun? The Earth–Moon and Earth–Sun distances are 3.8x105km and , respectively. (c) What is the round-trip travel time for light between Earth and a spaceship orbiting Saturn, 1.3x109km distant? (d) The Crab nebula, which is about 6500light years (ly) distant, is thought to be the result of a supernova explosion recorded by Chinese astronomers in A.D. 1054. In approximately what year did the explosion actually occur? (When we look into the night sky, we are effectively looking back in time.)
