An isotropic point source emits light at wavelength, at the rate of. A light detector is positionedfrom the source. What is the maximum rate at which the magnetic component of the light changes with time at the detector’s location?
A small laser emits light at power 5.00m/w and wavelength 633nm. The laser beam is focused (narrowed) until its diameter matches the 1266nm diameter of a sphere placed in its path. The sphere is perfectly absorbing and has density . What are (a) the beam intensity at the sphere’s location (b) the radiation pressure on the sphere? (c) the magnitude of the corresponding force? And (d) the magnitude of the acceleration that force alone would give the sphere?
In Fig. 33-48a, a light ray in water is incident at an angleon a boundary with an underlying material, into which some of the light refracts. There are two choices of the underlying material. For each, the angle of refractionversus the incident angleis given in Fig. 33-48b. The vertical axis scale is set by. Without calculation, determine whether the index of refraction of
(a) material 1 and
(b) material 2 is greater or less than the index of water.What is the index of refraction of
(c) materialAnd
(d) material?

If the magnetic field of a light wave oscillates parallel to a y axis and is given by, (a) in what direction does the wave travel and (b) parallel to which axis does the associated electric field oscillate?
Figure 33-28 shows the electric and magnetic fields of an electromagnetic wave at a certain instant. Is the wave traveling into the page or out of the page?
