Chapter 31: Q. 10 (page 900)

A vertically polarized electromagnetic wave passes through the five polarizers in FIGUREQ31.10. Rank in order, from largest to smallest, the transmitted intensitiesIatoIe.

Short Answer

Expert verified

A vertically polarised electromagnetic wave goes through the five polarizers, which are ranked from largest to smallest in order of size isId>Ic=Ie>Ib>Ia.

Step by step solution

01

Figure for polarizes

02

Explanation

The amount of light that passes through a polarizer isI0cos2(θ).

The incident wave0is aligned with the polarizerd.

whileθ=90°for polarizer a.

Polarizerscanddare perpendicular to the vertical.

So,

Id>Ic=Ie>Ib>Ia

FIGURE shows a vertically polarized radio wave of frequency 1.0*106Hztraveling into the page. The maximum electric field strength is 1000V/m. What are

a. The maximum magnetic field strength?

b. The magnetic field strength and direction at a point where Eu=1500V/m, down?

A proton is fired with a speed of 1.0×106m/sthrough the parallel-plate capacitor shown in FIGURE P31.31. The capacitor's electric field is role="math" localid="1648984502437" E→=1.0×105V/m,down).

a. What magnetic field B→, both strength and direction, must be applied to allow the proton to pass through the capacitor with no change in speed or direction?

b. Find the electric and magnetic fields in the proton's reference frame.

c. How does an experimenter in the proton's frame explain that the proton experiences no force as the charged plates fly by?

2.5mJA LASIK vision-correction system uses a laser that emits10ns-long pulses of light, each with2.5mJof energy. The laser beam is focused to a 0.85-mm-diameter circle on the cornea. What is the electric field amplitude of the light wave at the cornea?

A long, thin superconducting wire carrying a 15Acurrent passes through the center of a thin, 2.0cm-diameter ring. A uniform electric field of increasing strength also passes through the ring, parallel to the wire. The magnetic field through the ring is zero.

a. At what rate is the electric field strength increasing?

b. Is the electric field in the direction of the current or opposite to the current?

Consider current Ipassing through a resistor of radius r, length L, and resistance R.

a. Determine the electric and magnetic fields at the surface of the resistor. Assume that the electric field is uniform throughout, including at the surface.

b. Determine the strength and direction of the Poynting vector at the surface of the resistor.

c. Show that the flux of the Poynting vector (i.e., the integral of S→⋅dA→) over the surface of the resistor is I2R. Then give an interpretation of this result.
