The intensity of sunlight hitting the earth is about . If sunlight strikes a perfect absorber, what pressure does it exert? How about a perfect reflector? What fraction of atmospheric pressure does this amount to?
(a) Show directly that Eqs. 9.197 satisfy Maxwell鈥檚 equations (Eq. 9.177) and the boundary conditions (Eq. 9.175).
(b) Find the charge density, , and the current, , on the inner conductor.
(a) Show that the skin depth in a poor conductor is (independent of frequency). Find the skin depth (in meters) for (pure) water. (Use the static values of and ; your answers will be valid, then, only at relatively low frequencies.)
(b) Show that the skin depth in a good conductor is (where 位 is the wavelength in the conductor). Find the skin depth (in nanometers) for a typical metal in the visible range , assuming and . Why are metals opaque?
(c) Show that in a good conductor the magnetic field lags the electric field by , and find the ratio of their amplitudes. For a numerical example, use the 鈥渢ypical metal鈥 in part (b).
Consider a rectangular wave guide with dimensions . What TE modes will propagate in this waveguide if the driving frequency is ? Suppose you wanted to excite only one TE mode; what range of frequencies could you use? What are the corresponding wavelengths (in open space)?
A microwave antenna radiating at 10GHz is to be protected from the environment by a plastic shield of dielectric constant 2.5. What is the minimum thickness of this shielding that will allow perfect transmission (assuming normal incidence)? [Hint: Use Eq. 9. 199.]
