Answer:
1) f= 8.6 GHz
2) t= 0.2 ms
Explanation:
1)
- Since microwaves are electromagnetic waves, they move at the same speed as the light in vacuum, i.e. 3*10⁸ m/s.
- There exists a fixed relationship between the frequency (f) , the wavelength (λ) and the propagation speed in any wave, as follows:
- Replacing by the givens, and solving for f, we get:
⇒ f = 8.6 Ghz (with two significative figures)
2)
- Assuming that the microwaves travel at a constant speed in a straight line (behaving like rays) , we can apply the definition of average velocity, as follows:
where v= c= speed of light in vacuum = 3*10⁸ m/s
d= distance between mountaintops = 52 km = 52*10³ m
- Solving for t, we get:
⇒ t = 0.2 ms (with two significative figures)
Explanation:
Given data:
Area A = 10 cm×2 cm = 20×10⁻⁴ m²
Distance d between the plates = 1 mm = 1×10⁻³m
Voltage of the battery is emf = 100 V
Resistance = 1025 ohm
Solution:
In RC circuit, the voltage between the plates is related to time t. Initially the voltage is equal to that of battery V₀ = emf = 100V. But After time t the resistance and capacitor changes it and the final voltage is V that is given by
Taking natural log on both sides,
(1)
Now we can calculate the capacitance by using the area of the plates.
C = ε₀A/d
=
= 18×10⁻¹²F
Now we can get the time when the voltage drop from 100 to 55 V by putting the values of C, V₀, V and R in the equation (1)
= -(1025Ω)(18×10⁻¹² F) ln( 1 - 55/100)
= 15×10⁻⁹s
= 15 ns
