Chapter 4: Q31E (page 1074)

The microwaves in a certain microwave oven have a wavelength of 12.2 cm. (a) How wide must this oven be so that it will contain five antinodal planes of the electric field along its width in the standing-wave pattern? (b) What is the frequency of these microwaves? (c) Suppose a manufacturing error occurred and the oven was made 5.0 cm longer than specified in part (a). In this case, what would have to be the frequency of the microwaves for there still to be five antinodal planes of the electric field along the width of the oven?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Thewidth of the oven containing five antinodal planes is 30.5 cm.
  2. The frequency of these microwaves2.46脳109Hz
  3. The frequency of the microwaves when the length of the oven is made 5.0 cm longer is 2.11脳109Hz

Step by step solution

01

(a) Determination of the width of the oven containing five antinodal planes.

There is a spacing of half-wavelength between antinodal and nodal planes. In the oven length there is 212位=Lwavelengths fitted.

Calculate the length by substituting the required values,

L=5212.2cm=30.5cm

Thus , the width of the oven is 30.5 cm.

02

(b) Determination of the frequency of these microwaves.

The frequency is given as,

f=c位=3.00脳108m/s.122m=2.46脳109Hz

Thus, the frequency is 2.46脳109Hz

03

(c) Determination of the frequency of the microwaves when the length of the oven is made 5.0 cm longer.

In this case L = 35.5 cm given, so, solve for the wavelength,

位=2L5=235.5cm5=14.2cm

Use this wavelength value to calculate the frequency,

f=c位=3.00脳108m/s0.142m=2.11脳109Hz

Thus, the frequency is 2.11脳109Hz

Question: A +2.00nC point charge is at the origin, and a second -5.00nC point charge is on the x-axis at x = 0.800 m. (a) Find the electric field (magnitude and direction) at each of the following points on the x-axis: (i) x = 0.200 m; (ii) x = 1.20 m; (iii) x = -0.200 m. (b) Find the net electric force that the two charges would exert on an electron placed at each point in part (a).

Two identical metal objects are mounted on insulating stands. Describe how you could place charges of opposite sign but exactly equal magnitude on the two objects.

The heating element of an electric dryer is rated at 4.1 kW when connected to a 240-V line. (a) What is the current in the heating element? Is 12-gauge wire large enough to supply this current? (b) What is the resistance of the dryer鈥檚 heating element at its operating temperature? (c) At 11 cents per kWh, how much does it cost per hour to operate the dryer?

A point charge is placed at each corner of a square with side length a. All charges have magnitude q. Two of the charges are positive and two are negative (Fig. E21.42). What is the direction of the net electric field at the canter of the square due to the four charges, and what is its magnitude in terms of q and a?

Cyclotrons are widely used in nuclear medicine for producing short-lived radioactive isotopes. These cyclotrons typically accelerate H-(the hydride ion, which has one proton and two electrons) to an energy of 5MeVto20MeV.This ion has a mass very close to that of a proton because the electron mass is negligible about 12000of the proton鈥檚 mass. A typical magnetic field in such cyclotrons is 1.9T..(a) What is the speed of a 5.0-MeVH-? (b) If the H-has energy 5.0MeVandB=1.9T what is the radius of this ion鈥檚 circulator orbit?
