A section of a parallel-plate air waveguide with a plate separation of 7.11 mm is constructed to be used at 15 GHz as an evanesc

ent wave attenuator to attenuate all the modes except the TEM mode along the guide. Find the minimum length of this attenuator needed to attenuate each mode by at least 100 dB. Assume perfect conductor plates.

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

Answer:

(a) 0.17 m

(b) 5.003 m

(c) 6.38 × 10^{-26} N

(d) 7.37 ×10^{-29} N

Explanation:

(a) The minimum value of x will occur when q3 = 0 m or at origin and q1, q2 are at 0.17 m so the distance between q3 and q1, q2 is 0.17 m, therefore the <em>minimum value of x= 0.17 m</em>.

(b) The maximum value of x will occur when q3 = 5 m because it is said in the question that 5 is the maximum distance travelled by q3. To find the hypotenuse i.e. the distance between q3 and q1,q2, we use Pythagoras theorem.

h^{2} = b^{2} + p^{2}

h^{2} = 5^{2} + 0.17^{2}   \\h = \sqrt{} 25.03\\h= 5.002 m

<em>Hence, the maximum distance is 5.002 m</em>

(c) For minimum magnitude we use the minimum distance calculated in (a)

Minimum Distance = 0.17 m

For electrostatic force=     F=\frac{kq1q2}{x^{2} }

F=\frac{9 x 10^{9} x3.2x10^{-19}x 6.4x10^{-19}  }{0.17^{2} }

F= 6.38×10^{-26} N

(d) For maximum magnitude, we use the maximum distance calculated in (b)

Maximum Distance = 5.002 m

Using the formula for electrostatic force again:

F =  \frac{9x10^{9}x3.2x10^{-19}x6.4x10^{-19}   }{5.002^{2} } }

F= 7.37×10^{-29 N

dlinn [17]

Answer:

x =\frac{-R}{2}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that mass

Thin layer radius = 2R

Generally the expression for ths solution is given as

Xcm =(m*0 =m(-2R))/2m =-mR/(2m)=-R/2

the center of mass will not move at initial state  

Considering the center of mass of both bodies

xcm=\frac{m*x+m*x)}{2m} =x

x =\frac{-R}{2}

Therefore the enclosing layer moves x =\frac{-R}{2}

Why do we consider eyes, ears, and fingers as physical sensor​
seraphim [82]

Answer:

because

Explanation:

because we need eye to see if you don't have eyes how you regnise some one

if you have ears how can you know who's voice is who's

if don't have fingers how can you know what your are holding this is why they are called physical sensors
