Assuming you exclude the runaway solution in Prob. 11.19, calculate

(a) The work done by an external force is .

Wext=F2mT22+tT+t2+t2e-T/t

(b) The final kinetic energy is Kf=F2T22m.

(c) The total energy radiated is Wrad=tF2m2T-t+te-Tt.

Step by step solution

01

Expression for the velocity of a particle:

Write the expression for the velocity of a particle.

v(t)=Fmt+t-te(t-T)t …… (1)

Here, F is the external force, m is the mass, and t is the time.

02

Determine the work done by an external force

(a)

Write the expression for work done by an external force.

Wext=∫F.dxWext=∫0Tv?(t).dt

Substitute the value of v ( t ) in the above expression.

Wext=F∫0TFmt+t'-t'e(t-t')t.dtWext=F2m∫0Ttdt+t∫0Tdt-te-T/t∫0tet/tdtWext=F2mt22+tt-te-T/t'tet/t'0T

On further solving,

Wext=F2mT22+tT-t2e-T/t(eT/t-1)Wext=F2mT22+tT-t2+t2e-T/t

Therefore, the work done by an external force is Wext=F2mT22+tT-t2+t2e-T/t.

03

Determine the final kinetic energy:

(b)

Write the expression for final kinetic energy.

Kf=12mvf2 …… (2)

Here, vfis the final kinetic energy.

Substitute t = T in equation (1) to calculate the final kinetic energy.

v(t)=FmT+t-te(T-T)Tvf=FmT

Substitute the value of vfin equation (2).

Kf=12FmT2Kf=F2T22m

Therefore, the final kinetic energy is Kf=F2T22m.

04

Determine the total energy radiated and check the conservation of energy in the process:

(c)

Write the expression for the total energy radiated.

Wrad=∫P.dt …… (3)

Using the Larmor formula, the value of P is given as:

p=μ0q2a26Ï€³¦

Here, a is the acceleration of the particle.

Write the expression for an acceleration of a particle.

a(t)=Fm1-e_T/t(t<0)Fm1-e(t-T)t(0<t<T)

Substitute all the value of P in equation (3).

Wrad=μ0q26Ï€³¦F2m2(1-e-T/t)2∫-∞0e2t/tdt+∫0T1-e(t-T)t2dtWrad=tF2m2(1-e-T/t)t2e2t/t-∞0+∫0Tdt-2e-T/t∫0Tee/edt+e-2t/t∫0Teet/tdtWrad=tF2m2t2(1-e-T/t)2+T-2e-T/t(tee/e)0T+ee-2t/tt2ee2t/t0TWrad=tF2m2T-t+te-Tt

Energy conservation requires that the work done by an external force equal to the sum of the final kinetic energy and the radiated energy. Hence,

Kf+Wrad=f2T22m+tF2m2T-t+te-TtKf+Wrad=F2m12T2+tT-t2+t2e-TtWext=F2m12T2+tT-t2+t2e-Tt

Therefore, the total energy radiated is Wrad=tF2m2T-t+te-Tt.

In Bohr’s theory of hydrogen, the electron in its ground state was supposed to travel in a circle of radius 5×10-11m, held in orbit by the Coulomb attraction of the proton. According to classical electrodynamics, this electron should radiate, and hence spiral in to the nucleus. Show thatv≪c for most of the trip (so you can use the Larmor formula), and calculate the lifespan of Bohr’s atom. (Assume each revolution is essentially circular.)

As a model for electric quadrupole radiation, consider two oppositely oriented oscillating electric dipoles, separated by a distance d, as shown in figure in Fig. 11.19. Use the results of Sect. 11.1.2 for the potentials of each dipole, but note that they are not located at the origin. Keeping only the terms of first order in d:

(a) Find the scalars and vector potentials

(b) Find the electric and magnetic fields.

(c) Find the pointing vector and the power radiated

A charged particle, traveling in from −∞ along the x axis, encounters a rectangular potential energy barrier

U(x)={U0, if 0<x<L,0, otherwise}

Show that, because of the radiation reaction, it is possible for the particle to tunnel through the barrier-that is, even if the incident kinetic energy is less thanU0, the particle can pass through 26.[Hint: Your task is to solve the equation

a=τa˙+Fm

Subject to the force

F(x)=U0[−δ(x)+δ(x−L)]

Refer to Probs. 11.19 and 11.31, but notice that this time the force is a specified function ofx, nott. There are three regions to consider: (i)x<0, (ii) 0<x<L, (iii)x>L. Find the general solution fora(t), Ï…(t), andx(t)in each region, exclude the runaway in region (iii), and impose the appropriate boundary conditions at x=0andx=L. Show that the final velocity (Ï…f)is related to the time spent traversing the barrier by the equation

,L=υfT−U0mυf(τe−T/τ+T−τ)

and the initial velocity (atx=−∞) is

υi=υf−U0mυf[1−11+υ0mvf2(e−T/τ−1)]

To simplify these results (since all we're looking for is a specific example), suppose the final kinetic energy is half the barrier height. Show that in this case

υi=υf1−(L/υfτ)

In particular, if you choose L=υfτ/4 , then υi=(4/3)υf, the initial kinetic energy is (8/9)U0, and the particle makes it through, even though it didn't have sufficient energy to get over the barrier!]

Check that the retarded potentials of an oscillating dipole (Eqs. 11.12 and 11.17) satisfy the Lorenz gauge condition. Do not use approximation 3.

An electron is released from rest and falls under the influence of gravity. In the first centimeter, what fraction of the potential energy lost is radiated away?
