No light does not need medium to travel.Its an electromagnetic(EM) wave.All EM waves travel independent of medium. In contrast mechanical waves need a medium,sound waves,shock waves are mechanical and they need medium to transfer energy or travel.

adell [148]

Answer:

the required minimum length of the attenuator is 3.71 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that;

f_{c_1 = c / 2a

where f is frequency, c is the speed of light in air and a is the plate separation distance.

we know that speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s = 3 × 10¹⁰ cm/s

plate separation distance a = 7.11 mm = 0.0711 cm

so we substitute

f_{c_1 = 3 × 10¹⁰ / 2( 0.0711  )

f_{c_1 = 3 × 10¹⁰ cm/s / 0.1422  cm

f_{c_1 =  21.1 GHz which is larger than 15 GHz { TEM mode is only propagated along the wavelength }

Now, we determine the minimum wavelength required

Each non propagating mode is attenuated by at least 100 dB at 15 GHz

so

Attenuation constant TE₁ and TM₁ expression is;

∝₁ = 2πf/c × √( (f_{c_1 / f)² - 1 )

so we substitute

∝₁ = ((2π × 15)/3 × 10⁸ m/s) × √( (21.1 / 15)² - 1 )

∝₁ = 3.1079 × 10⁻⁷

∝₁ = 310.79 np/m

Now, To find the minimum wavelength, lets consider the design constraint;

20log₁₀e^{-\alpha _1l_{min = -100dB

we substitute

20log₁₀e^{-(310.7np/m)l_{min = -100dB

l_{min = 3.71 cm

Therefore, the required minimum length of the attenuator is 3.71 cm

A 22-turn circular coil of wire has diameter 1.02 m. It is placed with its axis along the direction of the Earth's magnetic fiel
ollegr [7]

Answer:

ξ = 0.00845020162 V or 8.4 mV

Explanation:

Magnetic flux measures the total magnetic field that passes through a known area. Magnetic flux describe the effect of magnetic field in a given area. Mathematically,

magnetic flux (Ф) = BA cos ∅

where

A = test area

B = magnetic field

before the flip

Ф = Bπr²N

N = number of turn

magnitude of induced emf = N |ΔФ/Δt|

ξ  = 2Nπr²B/dt

ξ  = 2 × 22 × π × (1.02/2)² × 0.000047/0.2

ξ = 44 × π × 0.51² × 0.000047/0.2

ξ = 44 × π × 0.2601  × 0.000047/0.2

ξ = 0.0005378868  × 3.142/0.2

ξ = 0.00169004032/0.2

ξ = 0.00845020162 V or 8.4 mV
