[FREE SOLUTION] | 91Ó°ÊÓ

91Ó°ÊÓ

A particle of mass m and charge q is attached to a spring with force constant k, hanging from the ceiling (Fig. 11.18). Its equilibrium position is a distance h above the floor. It is pulled down a distance d below equilibrium and released, at timet=0.

(a) Under the usual assumptions (d≪λ≪h), calculate the intensity of the radiation hitting the floor, as a function of the distance R from the point directly below q. [Note: The intensity here is the average power per unit area of floor.]

FIGURE 11.18

At whatR is the radiation most intense? Neglect the radiative damping of the oscillator.

(b) As a check on your formula, assume the floor is of infinite extent, and calculate the average energy per unit time striking the entire floor. Is it what you’d expect?

(c) Because it is losing energy in the form of radiation, the amplitude of the oscillation will gradually decrease. After what timebhas the amplitude been reduced to d/e? (Assume the fraction of the total energy lost in one cycle is very small.)

Short Answer

(a) The intensity of the radiation hitting the floor is μ0q2d2Ӭ4R2h32π2cR2+h252, and atR=23h the radiation will be the most intense.

(b) If the floor is assumed to be an infinite extent, the average energy per unit time striking the floor is μ0q2d2Ó¬424Ï€³¦.

(c) The time after which the amplitude becomesde is 12πcm2μ0q2k.

Step by step solution

01

Expression for the intensity of radiation:

Write the expression for the intensity of radiation.

I=<S>·z^ …… (1)

Here,S is the Poynting vector which is given as:

S=μ0p02Ӭ432π2csin2θr2r^

Substitute S=μ0p02Ӭ432π2csin2θr2r^in equation (1).

role="math" localid="1653990441797" I=μ0p02Ӭ432π2csin2θr2r^·z^I=μ0p02Ӭ432π2csin2θr2cosθ …… (2)

Here, p0=qd.

02

Determine the intensity of radiation and the value of R:

(a)

Draw the given situation of the charged particle.

From the above figure, observe the value of r, cosθand sinθ.

r=R2+h2cosθ=hrsinθ=Rr

Substitute p0=qd,cosθ=hr,sinθ=Rrandcosθ=hr in equation (2).

I=μ0qd2Ӭ432π2cRR2+h22R2+h22hR2+h2I=μ0qd2Ӭ432π2cRR2+h221R2+h22hR2+h2I=μ0q2d2Ӭ4R2h32π2cR2+h252

For the maximum intensity,

dIdR=0

Hence, the intensity equation becomes,

ddRμ0q2d2Ӭ4R2h32π2cR2+h252=0ddRR2R2+h252=0R2+h2522R-R252R2+h2322RR2+h25=0R=23h

Therefore, the intensity of the radiation hitting the floor is μ0q2d2Ӭ4R2h32π2cR2+h252, and atR=23h the radiation will be the most intense.

03

Determine the average energy per unit time striking the floor:

(b)

Write the expression for the average energy striking per unit time.

P=∫IRdaP=∫0∞IR2πRdR

SubstituteI=μ0q2d2Ӭ4R2h32π2cR2+h252 in the above expression.

P=∫0∞μ0q2d2Ӭ4R2h32π2cR2+h2522πRdRP=2πμ0q2d2Ӭ4h32π2c∫0∞R3R2+h252dR

Let,

R2=x2RdR=dxRdR=dx2

Hence, the above equation becomes,

P=2πμ0q2d2Ӭ4h32π2c∫0∞R3R2+h252dRP=2πμ0q2d2Ӭ4h32π2c23hP=μ0q2d2Ӭ424πc

The above equation is half of the total radiated power.

Therefore, considering the floor to be striking in the infinite extent, the average energy per unit time striking the floor is μ0q2d2Ӭ424πc.

04

Determine the time after which the amplitude b becomes d/e :

(c)

Consider the expression for the amplitude of the oscillation as a function of time is as follows:

x0t

Write the expression for the power radiated in terms of potential energy.

dUdt=-2P …… (3)

Here, U=12kx02.

SubstituteU=12kx02andP=μ0q2d2Ӭ424πcin equation (3).

ddt12kx02=-2μ0q2x02Ӭ424πcddtx02=-μ0q2x02Ӭ46πckx02

Letb=μ0q2Ӭ46πck

Hence, the above equation becomes,

ddtx02=-bx02

Write the solution for the above equation.

x02=d2e-btx0=deb2t

For the amplitudex0=dewrite the equation as,

de=de-b2te-1=e-b2tt=2b

Substitute the value of bin the above expression.

t=2μ0q2Ӭ46πckt=12πckμ0q2Ӭ4

Here,km=Ó¬ rewrite the equation as,

t=12πckμ0q2km4t=12πcm2μ0q2k

Therefore, the time after which the amplitude becomesde is equals to 12πcm2μ0q2k.

Most popular questions from this chapter

(a) Does a particle in hyperbolic motion (Eq. 10.52) radiate? (Use the exact formula (Eq. 11.75) to calculate the power radiated.)

(b) Does a particle in hyperbolic motion experience a radiation reaction? (Use the exact formula (Prob. 11.33) to determine the reaction force.)

[Comment: These famous questions carry important implications for the principle of equivalence.]

An ideal electric dipole is situated at the origin; its dipole moment points in the z direction and is quadratic in time:

p(t)=12p¨0t2z^ â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰(−∞<t<∞)

wherep¨0is a constant.

  1. Use the method of Section 11.1.2 to determine the (exact) electric and magnetic fields for all r > 0 (there's also a delta-function term at the origin, but we're not concerned with that).
  2. Calculate the power, P(r,t), passing through a sphere of radius r.
  3. Find the total power radiated (Eq. 11.2), and check that your answer is consistent with Eq. 11.60.21

With the inclusion of the radiation reaction force (Eq. 11.80) Newton’s second law for a charged particle becomes

a=τa˙+Fm

Where Fis the external force acting on the particle.

(a) In contrast to the case of an unchanged particle (a=Fm), acceleration (like position and velocity) must now be a continuous function of time, even if the force changes abruptly. (Physically, the radiation reaction damps out any rapid change in a). Prove that ais continuous at any time t, by integrating the equation of motion above from (t-ε)to (t+ε)and taking the limit ε→0.

(b) A particle is subjected to constant force F, beginning at timet=0and lasting until time T. Find the most general solution role="math" localid="1658753661705" a(t)to the equation of motion in each of the three periods: (i) t<0; (ii) 0<t<T ; (iii) t>T.

(c) Impose the continuity condition (a) at t=0and t=T. Sow that you can either eliminate the runaway in region (iii) or avoid pre-acceleration in region (i), but not both.

(d) If you choose to eliminate the runaway, what is the acceleration as a function of time, in each interval? How about the velocity? (The latter must, of course, be continuous at t=0andt=T ). Assume the particle was originally at rest; v(-∞)=0.

(e) Plot a(t)and v(t), both for an uncharged particle and for a (non-runaway) charged particle, subject to this force.

Find the radiation resistance (Prob. 11.3) for the oscillating magnetic dipole in Fig. 11.8. Express your answer in terms ofλand b , and compare the radiation resistance of the electric dipole. [ Answer: 3×105(bλ)4Ω]

A radio tower rises to height h above flat horizontal ground. At the top is a magnetic dipole antenna, of radius b, with its axis vertical. FM station KRUD broadcasts from this antenna at (angular) frequency Ӭ, with a total radiated power P (that’s averaged, of course, over a full cycle). Neighbors have complained about problems they attribute to excessive radiation from the tower—interference with their stereo systems, mechanical garage doors opening and closing mysteriously, and a variety of suspicious medical problems. But the city engineer who measured the radiation level at the base of the tower found it to be well below the accepted standard. You have been hired by the Neighborhood Association to assess the engineer’s report.

(a) In terms of the variables given (not all of which may be relevant), find the formula for the intensity of the radiation at ground level, a distance R from the base of the tower. You may assume that b≪c/Ӭ≪h. [Note: We are interested only in the magnitude of the radiation, not in its direction—when measurements are taken, the detector will be aimed directly at the antenna.]

(b) How far from the base of the tower should the engineer have made the measurement? What is the formula for the intensity at this location?

(c) KRUD’s actual power output is 35 kilowatts, its frequency is 90 MHz, the antenna’s radius is 6 cm, and the height of the tower is 200 m. The city’s radio-emission limit is 200 microwatts/cm2. Is KRUD in compliance?
