(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.]

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Yes, the power radiated at a constant rate.

(b) The particle in hyperbolic motion does not experience a radiation reaction.

Step by step solution

01

Expression for the radiated power:

Write the expression for the radiated power (using equation 11.75).

P=0q2a2y66c 鈥︹ (1)

Here,0 is the permeability of free space, q is the charge, a is the retardation, and c is the speed of light.

Here, the value is given as:

=11-v2c2 鈥︹ (2)

02

Check the radiation of a particle in hyperbolic motion:

(a)

As the particle is in hyperbolic motion along the x-axis, write the expression for the angular velocity of a particle.

t=b2+c2t2

Write the expression for the linear velocity of a particle.

v=tv=dtdt

Substitute the value oftin the above expression.

v=ddtb2+c2t2v=12b2+c2t22c2tv=c2tb2+c2t2

Calculate the acceleration of a particle.

a=dvdta=ddtc2tb2+c2t2a=b2+c2t2c2-c22t212b2+c2t2b2+c2t22a=b2+c2t2c2-c22t212b2+c2t2b2+c2t2b2+c2t2

On further solving,

a=c2b2+c2t23/2b2+c2t2-c2t2a=b2c2b2+c2t23/2

Substitute the value of vin equation (2).

=11-c2tb2+c2t22c22=11-c4t2b2+c2t2c22=b2+c2t2b2

Substitute the value of a and in equation (1).

P=0q26cb2c2b2+c2t23/22b2+c2t2b23P=0q2c36b20=10c2P=q2c36b20c2P=q2c60b2

Since, the terms q, c, b, and0 are constant, the power is radiated at a constant rate.

Therefore, yes, the power radiated at a constant rate.

03

Check the radiation reaction experienced by a particle in hyperbolic motion:

(b)

Write the expression for the force due to radiation acting on a particle.

Frad=0q246ca+32a2vc2 鈥︹. (3)

Here,a is the rate of acceleration which is calculated as:

a=dadta=ddtb2c2b2+c2t23/2a=b2+c2t23/20-b2c2-32b2+c2t21/22c2tb2+c2t23a=-b2c2-32b2+c2t21/2b2+c2t23b2+c2t2-1/2

On further solving,

a=-3b2c4tb2+c2t25/2

Substitute the value of a, and v in equation (3).

role="math" localid="1654061292314" Frad=0q246c-3b2c4tb2+c2t25/2+32a2vc2Frad=0q246c-3b2c4tb2+c2t25/2+3b2+c2t2b22a2c2tb2+c2t2c2Frad=0q246c-3b2c4tb2+c2t25/2+3c2b2c6tb2+c2t5/2Frad=0

Hence, there is no radiation reaction experienced by a particle in hyperbolic motion.

Therefore, the particle in hyperbolic motion does not experience a radiation reaction.

Use the result of Prob. 10.34 to determine the power radiated by an ideal electric dipole, , at the origin. Check that your answer is consistent with Eq. 11.22, in the case of sinusoidal time dependence, and with Prob. 11.26, in the case of quadratic time dependence.

Question: In Ex. 11.3 we assumed the velocity and acceleration were (instantaneously,

at least) collinear. Carry out the same analysis for the case where they are

perpendicular. Choose your axes so that v lies along the z axis and a along the x axis

direction (Fig. 11.15). The most important application of these formulas is to circular motion-in this case the radiation is called synchrotron radiation. For a relativistic electron, the radiation sweeps around like a locomotive's headlight as the particle moves.]

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

Use the 鈥渄uality鈥 transformation of Prob. 7.64, together with the fields of an oscillating electric dipole (Eqs. 11.18 and 11.19), to determine the fields that would be produced by an oscillating 鈥淕ilbert鈥 magnetic dipole (composed of equal and opposite magnetic charges, instead of an electric current loop). Compare Eqs. 11.36 and 11.37, and comment on the result.

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

U(x)={U0,if0<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=a+Fm

Subject to the force

F(x)=U0[(x)+(xL)]

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), (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 (f)is related to the time spent traversing the barrier by the equation

,L=fTU0mf(eT/+T)

and the initial velocity (atx=) is

i=fU0mf[111+0mvf2(eT/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

i=f1(L/f)

In particular, if you choose L=f/4 , then i=(4/3)f, 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!]
