a. Show that uEand uB, the energy densities of the electric and magnetic fields, are equal to each other in an electromagnetic wave. In other words, show that the wave’s energy is divided equally between the electric field and the magnetic field.

b. What is the total energy density in an electromagnetic wave of intensity 1000W/m2?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The total energy uof EMwave is u=εoE2

(b) The total energy density in an electromagnetic wave of intensity isu=3.33×10-6

Step by step solution

01

Final the energy on EM waves (part a)

Given:

Magnetic energy density uBis,

uB=B22μo

Magnetic energy density uEis,

uE=12εoE2

02

Find the energy on EM waves (part a)

Eand Bare connected in EMwaves as E=cB, where is c=1μoεo

We get,

uE=12εoE2=12εoB2c2=12εoB21μoεo=uB

Because the energy densities of the two waves are equal, the energy density uof the EMwaves equals

u=uE+uB

03

The electrical density on electromagnetic wave of intensity (part b)

Given:

Intensity, I=1000W/m2and then,

I=cεoE2

E2=Icεo

E=Icεo

E=10003×1088.85×10-12

E=613.7

Then we find total energy density:

u=εoE2

Substitute the values,

u=8.85×10-12(613.7)2

u=3.33×10-6

A rocket cruises past a laboratory at 1.00x106m/sin the positive x-direction just as a proton is launched with velocity (in the laboratory frame) v=1.41x106i^+1.41x106j^m/s. What are the proton’s speed and its angle from the y-axis in (a) the laboratory frame and (b) the rocket frame?

The radar system at an airport broadcasts 11GHzmicrowaves with 150kW of power. An approaching airplane with a 31m2 cross section is 30Km away. Assume that the radar broadcasts uniformly in all directions and that the airplane scatters microwaves uniformly in all directions. What is the electric field strength of the microwave signal received back at the airport 200μslater?

Large quantities of dust should have been left behind after the creation of the solar system. Larger dust particles, comparable in size to soot and sand grains, are common. They create shooting stars when they collide with the earth's atmosphere. But very small dust particles are conspicuously absent. Astronomers believe that the very small dust particles have been blown out of the solar system by the sun. By comparing the forces on dust particles, determine the diameter of the smallest dust particles that can remain in the solar system over long periods of time. Assume that the dust particles are spherical, black, and have a density of 2000kg/m3. The sun emits electromagnetic radiation with power 3.9×1026W.
