Suppose the maximum safe intensity of microwaves for human exposure is taken to be 1,00 W/m2. (a) If a radar unit leaks 10.0 W of microwaves (other than those sent by its antenna) uniformly in all directions, how far away must you be to be exposed to an intensity considered to be safe? Assume that the power spreads uniformly over the area of a sphere with no complications from absorption or reflection, (b) What is the maximum electric field strength at the safe intensity? (Note that early radar units leaked more than modem ones do. This caused identifiable health problems, such as cataracts, for people who worked near them.)
• An AM radio station’s antenna is constructed to be l>4 tall,where l is the wavelength of the radio waves. How tall should theantenna be for a station broadcasting at a frequency of 810 kHz?
Project Seafarer was an ambitious program to construct an enormous antenna, buried underground on a site about 10000 km2 in area. Its purpose was to transmit signals to submarines while they were deeply submerged. If the effective wavelength were 4.6 × 104 Earth radii, what would be the (a) frequency and (b) period of the radiation emitted? Ordinarily, electromagnetic radiations do not penetrate very far into conductors such as seawater. Take the Earth's radius to be 6370 km.
A radio station on the surface of the earth radiates an EM-wave with an average total power of 50 kilowatts. Assuming the transmitter radiates equally in all directions (not in real life), find the amplitudes Emaxmax and Bmaxmax detected by a satellite at a distance of 100 km from the antenna?
Two handheld radio transceivers with dipole antennas are separated by a large fixed distance. If the transmitting antenna is vertical, what fraction of the maximum received power will appear in the receiving antenna when it is inclined from the vertical by (a) 15.0°, (b) 45.0°, and (c) 90.0°?
TV-reception antennas for VHF are constructed with cross wires supported at their centers, as shown. The ideal length for the cross wires is one-half the wavelength to be received, with the more expensive antennas having one for each channel. Suppose you measure the lengths of the wires for particular channels and find them to be 1.94 and 0.753 m long, respectively. What are the frequencies for these channels?
Should the straight wire antenna of a radio b vertical or horizontal to best receive radio waves broadcast by a vertical transmitter antenna? How should a loop antenna be aligned to best receive signals? (Note that the direction of the loop that produces the best reception can be used to determine the location of the source. It is used for that purpose in tracking tagged animals in nature studies, for example)
