Answer:

P=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2

Explanation:

Given that,

A radio wave transmits 38.5 W/m² of power per unit area.

A flat surface of area A is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

We need to find the radiation pressure on it. It is given by the formula as follows :

P=\dfrac{2I}{c}

Where

c is speed of light

Putting all the values, we get :

P=\dfrac{2\times 38.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\\=2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2

So, the radiation pressure is 2.57\times 10^{-7}\ N/m^2.

slega [8]

Answer

Integral EdA = Q/εo =C*Vc(t)/εo = 3.5e-12*21/εo = 4.74 V∙m <----- A)

Vc(t) = 21(1-e^-t/RC) because an uncharged capacitor is modeled as a short.

ic(t) = (21/120)e^-t/RC -----> ic(0) = 21/120 = 0.175A <----- B)

Q(0.5ns) = CVc(0.5ns) = 2e-12*21*(1-e^-t/RC) = 30.7pC

30.7pC/εo = 3.47 V∙m <----- C)

ic(0.5ns) = 29.7ma <----- D)
