The maximum electric field 10 mfrom an isotropic point source of light is 2.0 V/m. What are (a) the maximum value of the magnetic field and (b) the average intensity of the light there? (c) What is the power of the source?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The maximum value of the magnetic field (Bm) is 6.7x10-9T.
  2. The average intensity of the light is 5.3×10-3W/m2.
  3. The power of the source is 6.7 w.

Step by step solution

01

Listing the given quantities

The amplitude of the electric field is, Em= 2 V/m.

Distance, r = 10 m.

02

Understanding the concepts of intensity 

We use the wave speed relation, which is related totheamplitude of electric and magnetic field components. Using this relation, we can find the magnitude ofthemagnetic field component. Using the intensity relation of the wave, we can find its intensity. Using intensity and power relations, we can find the power ofthesource.

03

(a) Calculations of the maximum value of magnetic field component

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

c=EmBm

The amplitude of the magnetic field component inthewave is given by,

Bm=Emc

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

Bm=2V/m3×108m/s=6.7×10-9T

Thus, the maximum value of the magnetic field is 6.7×10-9T .

04

(b) Calculations of the average intensity of light

The average intensity can be calculated as,

Iavg=Em22μ0c

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

Iavg=2V/m22×4π×10-7T.m/A3×108m/s=5.3×10-3w/m2

Thus, the average intensity of the light is 5.3×10-3W/m2 .

05

Step 5: (c) Calculations of the power of the source

The relation between power and average intensity of light is given by,

P=4Ï€°ù2Iavg

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

P=4π10m25.3×10-3w/m2=6.7w

Thus, the power of the source is 6.7 w.

From Fig.33-2, approximate the (a) smaller (b) larger wavelength at which the eye of a standard observer has half the eye’s maximum sensitivity. What are the (c) wavelength, (d) frequency, and (e) period of the light at which the eye is the most sensitive?

Question: Rainbows from square drops. Suppose that, on some surreal world, raindrops had a square cross section and always fell with one face horizontal. Figure shows such a falling drop, with a white beam of sunlight incident at θ=70.0°at point P. The part of the light that enters the drop then travels to point, where some of it refracts out into the air and the rest reflects. That reflected light then travels to point, where again some of the light refracts out into the air and the rest reflects.(a)What is the difference in the angles of the red light ( n = 1.331) and the blue light(n = 1.343) that emerge atpoint A? and(b) What is the difference in the angles of the red lightn = 1.331 )and the blue light (n = 1.343)that emerge atpoint B? (This angular difference in the light emerging at, say, pointwould be the rainbow’s angular width.)

Figure:

At a beach, the light is generally partially polarized due to reflections off sand and water. At a particular beach on a particular day near sundown, the horizontal component of the electric field vector is 2.3times the vertical component. A standing sunbather puts on polarizing sunglasses; the glasses eliminate the horizontal field component.

(a) What fraction of the light intensity received before the glasses were put on now reaches the sunbather’s eyes?

(b) The sunbather, still wearing the glasses, lies on his side. What fraction of the light intensity received before the glasses were put on now reaches his eyes?

In Fig. 33-42, unpolarized light is sent into a system of three polarizing sheets. The anglesθ1, θ2andθ3of the polarizing directions are measured counterclockwise from the positive direction of the yaxis (they are not drawn to scale). Anglesθ1and θ3are fixed, but angle θ2can be varied. Figure 33-43 gives the intensity of the light emerging from sheet 3 as a function of θ2. (The scale of the intensity axis is not indicated.) What percentage of the light’s initial intensity is transmitted by the system when θ2=30°?
