A slab (pulse) of electromagnetic radiation that is 15cm thick is propagating downward (in the direction) toward a short horizontal copper wire located at the origin and oriented parallel to the z axis, as shown in Figure 23.123. (a) The direction of the electric field inside the slab is out of the page (in the direction). On a diagram, show and describe clearly the direction of the magnetic field inside the slab.
(b) You stand on the x axis at location, at right angles to the direction of propagation of the pulse. Your friend stands on the z axis at location. The pulse passes the copper wire at time , and at a later time you observe new nonzero electric and magnetic fields at your location, but your friend does not. Explain. What is ? (Give a numerical answer.) How long a time do these new fields last for you? (c) On a diagram, show and describe clearly the directions of these new nonzero fields ( and ) at your location. Explain briefly but carefully.
A small laser used as a pointer produces a beam of red light in diameter and has a power output of . What is the magnitude of the electric field in the laser beam?
Television antennas often have one or more horizontalmetal bars mounted behind the receiving antenna and insulated from it, as shown in Figure 23.113. Explain qualitatively whyadding a second metal bar can make the television signal either stronger or weaker, depending on the distance between the front receiving antenna and the second bar.
On a cloudless day, when you look away from the Sun atthe rest of the sky, the sky is bright and you cannot seethe stars,On the Moon, however, the sky is dark and you cansee the stars even when the Sun is visible. Explain briefly.
