Answer: 50%

Explanation: efficiency=power input/power output ×100

Eff.=300/600 ×100

Eff=½×100

Eff=50%

A 300 MHz electromagnetic wave in air (medium 1) is normally incident on the planar boundary of a lossless dielectric medium wit

Masja [62]

Answer:

Wavelength of the incident wave in air = 1 m

Wavelength of the incident wave in medium 2 = 0.33 m

Intrinsic impedance of media 1 = 377 ohms

Intrinsic impedance of media 2 = 125.68 ohms

Check the explanation section for a better understanding

Explanation:

a) Wavelength of the incident wave in air

The frequency of the electromagnetic wave in air, f = 300 MHz = 3 * 10⁸ Hz

Speed of light in air, c = 3 * 10⁸ Hz

Wavelength of the incident wave in air:

$\lambda_{air} = \frac{c}{f} \\\lambda_{air} = \frac{3 * 10^{8} }{3 * 10^{8}} \\\lambda_{air} = 1 m$

Wavelength of the incident wave in medium 2

The refractive index of air in the lossless dielectric medium:

$n = \sqrt{\epsilon_{r} } \\n = \sqrt{9 }\\n =3$

$\lambda_{2} = \frac{c}{nf}\\\lambda_{2} = \frac{3 * 10^{6} }{3 * 3 * 10^{6}}\\\lambda_{2} = 1/3\\\lambda_{2} = 0.33 m$

b) Intrinsic impedances of media 1 and media 2

The intrinsic impedance of media 1 is given as:

$n_1 = \sqrt{\frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_{0} } }$

Permeability of free space, $\mu_{0} = 4 \pi * 10^{-7} H/m$

Permittivity for air, $\epsilon_{0} = 8.84 * 10^{-12} F/m$

$n_1 = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi * 10^{-7} }{8.84 * 10^{-12} } }$

$n_1 = 377 \Omega$

The intrinsic impedance of media 2 is given as:

$n_2 = \sqrt{\frac{\mu_r \mu_0}{\epsilon_r \epsilon_{0} } }$

Permeability of free space, $\mu_{0} = 4 \pi * 10^{-7} H/m$

Permittivity for air, $\epsilon_{0} = 8.84 * 10^{-12} F/m$

ϵr = 9

$n_2 = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi * 10^{-7} *1 }{8.84 * 10^{-12} *9 } }$

$n_2 = 125.68 \Omega$

c) The reflection coefficient,r and the transmission coefficient,t at the boundary.

Reflection coefficient, $r = \frac{n - n_{0} }{n + n_{0} }$

You didn't put the refractive index at the boundary in the question, you can substitute it into the formula above to find it.

$r = \frac{3 - n_{0} }{3 + n_{0} }$

Transmission coefficient at the boundary, t = r -1

d) The amplitude of the incident electric field is $E_{0} = 10 V/m$

Maximum amplitudes in the total field is given by:

$E = tE_{0}$ and $E = r E_{0}$

E = 10r, E = 10t

Which option is an example of a chemical property?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Hi there, the correct answer is C. Reactivity. I know this is the correct answer because I took this quiz recently. Color, boiling point, and density are all examples of physical properties.

What is the density of 18.0-karat gold that is a mixture of 18 parts gold, 5 parts silver, and 1 part copper? (These values are

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Density of 18.0-karat gold mixture is $15.58 g/cm^3$ .

Explanation:

A mixture of 18 parts gold, 5 parts silver, and 1 part copper.

Let mass of gold be 18x

Let the mass of silver be 5x

Let the mass of copper be 1x

The density of gold = $19.32g/cm^3$

The density of silver = $10.1g/cm^3$

The density of copper = $8.8g/cm^3$

$Volume=\frac{Mass}{Density}$

Volume of the gold in the mixture = $V_1=\frac{18x}{19.32 g/cm^3}$

Volume of the silver in the mixture = $V_2=\frac{5x}{10.1 g/cm^3}$

Volume of the copper in the mixture = $V_3=\frac{1x}{8.8 g/cm^3}$

Mass of the mixture = M = 18x+5x+1x =24x

Volume of the mixture = $V_1+V_2+V_3$

Density of the mixture:

$\frac{M}{V_1+V_2+V_3}=15.58 g/cm^3$
