Correct choices are marked in bold:
travel in straight lines and can bounce off surfaces --> TRUE, normally electromagnetic waves travel in straight lines, however they can be reflected by objects, bouncing off their surfaces
travel through space at the speed of light --> TRUE, all electromagnetic waves in space (vacuum) travel at the speed of light, )
travel only through matter --> FALSE; electromagnetic waves can also travel through vacuum
travel only through space --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves can also travel through matter
can bend around objects --> TRUE, this is what happens for instance when diffraction occurs: electromagnetic waves are bended around obstacles or small slits
move by particles bumping into each other --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, so no particles are involved
move by the interaction between an electric field and a magnetic field --> TRUE, electromagnetic waves consist of an electric field and a magnetic field oscillating in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave
A) 750 m
First of all, let's find the wavelength of the microwave. We have
is the frequency
is the speed of light
So the wavelength of the beam is
Now we can use the formula of the single-slit diffraction to find the radius of aperture of the beam:
where
m = 1 since we are interested only in the central fringe
D = 30 km = 30,000 m
a = 2.0 m is the aperture of the antenna (which corresponds to the width of the slit)
Substituting, we find
and so, the diameter is
B) 0.23 W/m^2
First we calculate the area of the surface of the microwave at a distance of 30 km. Since the diameter of the circle is 750 m, the radius is
So the area is
And since the power is
The average intensity is
Answer:
Capacitance is 0.572×10⁻¹⁰ Farad
Explanation:
Radius = R₁ = 6.25 cm = 6.25×10⁻² m
Radius = R₂ = 15 cm = 15×10⁻² m
Dielectric constant = k = 4.8
Electric constant = ε₀ = 8.854×10⁻¹² F/m
ε/ε₀=k
ε=kε₀
∴ Capacitance is 0.572×10⁻¹⁰ Farad
