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.

For point P on the wire’s surface, calculate the magnitudes of (a) the electricfield,E→(b) the magnetic field , B→and (c) the Poynting vector S→, and (d) determine the direction of S→.

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:

In Fig. 33-41, unpolarized light is sent into a system of two polarizing sheets. The anglesof the polarizing directions of the sheets are measured counterclockwise from the positive direction of the y-axis (they are not drawn to scale in the figure). The angle θ1 is fixed but the angle θ2can be varied. Figure 33-45 gives the intensity of the light emerging from sheet 2 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 two-sheet system when?

a.

b.

The electric component of a beam of polarized light is

Ey=(5.00V/m)sin[1.00×106m- 1z+Ӭt].

(a) Write an expression for the magnetic field component of the wave, including a value for Ó¬.

What are the (b) wavelength, (c) period, and (d) intensity of this light?

(e) Parallel to which axis does the magnetic field oscillate?

(f) In which region of the electromagnetic spectrum is this wave?

Assume (unrealistically) that a TV station acts as a point source broadcasting isotopically at 1.0 MW. What is the intensity of the transmitted signal reaching Proxima Centauri, the star nearest our solar system,4.3 lyaway? (An alien civilization at that distance might be able to watchXFiles.) A light-year (ly) is the distance light travels in one year.
