An airplane flying at a distance of10kmfrom a radio transmitter receives a signal of intensity10mW/m2.(a) What is the amplitude of the electric component of the signal at the airplane and (b) What is the amplitude of the magnetic component of the signal at the airplane? (c) If the transmitter radiates uniformly over a hemisphere, what is the transmission power?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The amplitude of the electric field component at the airplane is 8.710-2Vm.

(b) The amplitude of the magnetic field component at the airplane is 2.910-10T.

(c) The transmission power is 6.3103W.

Step by step solution

01

Determine the given quantities

Intensity of sunlight I=10渭奥m2

Distancer=10km

02

Determine the concepts of electric and magnetic component

Consider the intensity relation of wave, square both the sides, and solve for electric field component. Finally, substitutingtheelectric field component value inthemagnetic field component relation, find its amplitude. Using intensity and power relation, and find the transmission power.

Formulae:

c=EmBm

I=Em220c

P=2r2I

03

(a) Determine the amplitude of electric field component  

The time averaged rate per unit area at which energy is transported, Savg,is called the intensity I of the wave.

I=Em224ncErms=Em2I=Em220c

Substitute the values in the equation and solve as:

The amplitude of the electric field component at the airplane is8.710-2Vm

04

(b) Determine the amplitude of magnetic field component

The wave speed cand amplitudes of electric and magnetic fields are related as

c=EBc=EmBm

The amplitude of magnetic field component in the wave is given by

Bm=Emc=8.710-2Vm3108ms=2.910-10T

The amplitude of the magnetic field component at the airplane is2.910-10T

05

(c) Determine the transmission power P

The intensity I and power P are related as:

I=P4r2P=4r2I

The intensity oftheemerging polarized light is half of the original intensity of light.

role="math" localid="1662975216508" P=4r2I2=2r2=210103m21010-6W/m2=6.3103W

The transmission power is 6.3103W.

The primary rainbow described in Problem 77 is the type commonly seen in regions where rainbows appear. It is produced by light reflecting once inside the drops. Rarer is the secondary rainbow described in Module 33-5, produced by light reflecting twice inside the drops (Fig. 33-68a). (a) Show that the angular deviation of light entering and then leaving a spherical water drop isdev=(180)k+2i-2(k+1)r

where, k is the number of internal reflections. Using the procedure of Problem 77, find the angle of minimum deviation for (b) red light and (c) blue light in a secondary rainbow. (d) What is the angular width of that rainbow (Fig. 33-21d)?

The tertiary rainbow depends on three internal reflections (Fig. 33-68b). It probably occurs but, as noted in Module 33-5, cannot be seen with the eye because it is very faint and lies in the bright sky surrounding the Sun. What is the angle of minimum deviation for (e) the red light and (f) the blue light in this rainbow? (g) What is the rainbow鈥檚 angular width?

A certain helium鈥搉eon laser emits red light in a narrow band of wavelengths centered at632.8nm and with a 鈥渨avelength width鈥 (such as on the scale of Fig. 33-1) of0.0100nm. What is the corresponding 鈥渇requency width鈥 for the emission?

Question: Suppose the prism of Fig. 33-53 has apex angle =60oand index of refractionn=1.60 . (a) What is the smallest angle of incidence for which a ray can enter the left face of the prism and exit the right face? (b) What angle of incidence is required for the ray to exit the prism with an identical angle for its refraction, as it does in Fig. 33-53?

Figure:

Each part of Fig. 33-34 shows light that refracts through an interface between two materials. The incident ray (shown gray in the figure) consists of red and blue light. The approximate index of refraction for visible light is indicated for each material. Which of the three parts show physically possible refraction? (Hint: First consider the refraction in general, regardless of the color, and then consider how red and blue light refract differently?

(a) Prove that a ray of light incident on the surface of a sheet of plate glass of thicknesstemerges from the opposite face parallel to its initial direction but displaced sideways, as in Fig. 33-69. (b) Show that, for small angles of incidence , this displacement is given byx=tn-1n

where nis the index of refraction of the glass andis measured in radians.
