Television Broadcasting. Public television station KQED in San Francisco broadcasts a sinusoidal radio signal at a power of 777 KW. Assume that the wave spreads out uniformly into a hemisphere above the ground. At a home 5.00 km away from the antenna, (a) what average pressure does this wave exert on a totally reflecting surface, (b) what are the amplitudes of the electric and magnetic fields of the wave, and (c) what is the average density of the energy this wave carries? (d) For the energy density in part (c), what percentage is due to the electric field and what percentage is due to the magnetic field?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The average radiation pressure exerted by the wave on a totally reflecting surface is 3.310-11Pa.

b. The amplitudes of the electric and magnetic fields of wave are 1.94 N/c and 6.510-9Trespectively.

c. The average density of the energy wave carries 1.6710-11J/m3.

d. 50% is due to the both electric and magnetic field.

Step by step solution

01

Define the intensity (l) and the radiation pressure (prad).

The power transported per unit area is known as the intensity (l).

The formula used to calculate the intensity (l) is:

I=PavgA

Where, A is area measured in the direction perpendicular to the energy and P is the power in watts.

The average force per unit area due to the wave is known as radiation pressurerole="math" localid="1664346816206" prad. Radiation pressure is the average dp/dtdivided by the absorbing areaA.

The formula for radiation pressure of the wave totally reflected light is:

prad=2Ic

The formula used to determine the amplitude of electric and magnetic fields of the wave are:

E2I0cmaxBEmaxcmax

The average density of waveuavg=0(Erms)2where,

Ems=Emax20=8.8510-12C2/Nm2

02

Determine the radiation pressure on a totally reflecting surface.

Given that,

Pavg=777KWr=5.00km

The radiation pressure of the wave totally reflected light is:

prad=2Ic

Where,I=PavgA

prad=2PavgAc=27770002500023108=20.0053108=3.310-11Pa

Hence, the average radiation pressure exerted by the wave on a totally reflecting surface is 3.310-11Pa.

03

Determine the amplitudes of electric and magnetic field.

The amplitude of electric field is:

E2I0cmax

Substitute the values

Emax=27770002500028.8510-123108=1.94N/c

The amplitude of magnetic field is:

BEmaxcmax

Substitute the values

Bmax=1.943108=6.510-9T

Hence, the amplitudes of the electric and magnetic fields of wave are 1.94 N/c and 6.510-9Trespectively.

04

Determine the average energy density.

The average density of waveuavg=0(Erms)2

SubstituteErms=Emax2in formula od average density

uavg=0Emax2()2

Again, substitute the value

uavg=(8.8510-12)1.9422=1.6710-11J/m3

Hence, average density of the energy wave carries1.6710-11J/m3.

As the energy density of electric and magnetic fields are same therefore, both has 50% of energy density.

Hence, 50% is due to the both electric and magnetic field.
