An electromagnetic wave with frequency5.701014Hz propagates with a speed of2.17108m/s in a certain piece of glass. Find (a) the wavelength of the wave in the glass; (b) the wavelength of a wave of the same frequency propagating in air; (c) the index of refraction of the glass for an electromagnetic wave with this frequency; (d) the dielectric constant for glass at this frequency, assuming that the relative permeability is unity.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The wavelength of a wave of the wave in the glass is 3.8110-7m.
  2. The wavelength of a wave of the wave in the air is 5.2610-7m.
  3. The index of refraction of the glass for an electromagnetic wave with5.701014Hz frequency is 1.38 .
  4. The dielectric constant for glass at5.701014Hz frequency is 1.90 .

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Define frequency and write formulas.

he number of waves that moves a fixed point in unit time is known as frequency.

f=1Tor2

Where,T =Time period in seconds and is angular frequency in .

The frequency, wavelength, and speed of light of any wave are related by the wavelength-frequency relationship.

The wavelength-frequency relationship is:

c=f

Where, c is the speed of light which is equal to localid="1664349940163" 3108m/s,is the wavelength and is the frequency.

The wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.

=cforvf

Where, v is velocity of wave in m/s.

The relation between wave number and wavelength is:

k=2

Where, k is wavenumber in rad/m.

02

Determine the wavelength of glass and air.

Given that,

v=2.17108m/sf=5.701014Hz

The wavelength of glass is

glass=vf=2.171085.701014=3.8110-7m

The wavelength of air is

air=cf=31085.701014=5.2610-7m

Hence, wavelength of a wave of the wave in the glass is 3.8110-7mand the wavelength of a wave of the wave in the air is 5.2610-7m.

03

Determine the refractive index and dielectric constant.

The refractive index of glass is:

n=cv=31082.17108=1.38

And the dielectric constant for glass is:

K=n2=1.382=1.90

Hence, index of refraction n of the glass for an electromagnetic wave with 5.701014Hzfrequency is 1.38 and the dielectric constant for glass at 5.701014Hzfrequency is 1.90 .
