The waves from a radio station can reach a home receiver by two paths. One is a straight-line path from transmitter to home, a d

istance of 32.0 km. The second is by reflection from the ionosphere (a layer of ionized air molecules high in the atmosphere). Assume this reflection takes place at a point midway between receiver and transmitter, the wavelength broadcast by the radio station is 344 m, and no phase change occurs on reflection. Find the minimum height of the ionospheric layer that could produce destructive interference between the direct and reflected beams.

Answer:

Explanation:

The path of waves reaching directly and through reflection from ionosphere will form a isosceles triangle.

Let the height be h . This will be height of a triangle of equal side whose base is of length 32 km. we shall calculate the length of one side of this triangle .

this length be l

l² = 16² + h²

l =  √(256 +h² )

2l = 2√(256 +h² )

path difference = 2l - 32 km

For destructive interference

path difference = wavelength /2 for minimum height .

2l - 32  = .344/2

2√(256 +h² )- 32 = . 172

2√(256 +h² ) = 32.172

4(256 +h² ) = 1035

(256 +h² ) = 258.76

h² = 2.76

h = 1.66 km

A ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere are all released from rest from the same height on an inclined surface, at the
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Explanation:

  • The expression for acceleration of the rolling body on an inclined plane is given as a = gsinФ/1 + k²/R²
  • where Ф is the angle of inclination, R is the radius, k is the radius of gyration.
  • The potential energy of the system is given as ; PE = mgh
  • The potential energy will be constant for ring, cylinder, solid sphere, and hollow sphere.
  • The total kinetic energy of the rolling body is ; KE = mv²/2 + Iw²/2
  • Hence, the total kinetic energy of the ring, cylinder, solid sphere and hollow sphere will be constant.

2. The moment of inertia of the ring is given as ;

I = mR²

The moment of inertia of the ring is maximum and therefore reaches the bottom last.
