In which situation shown in Figure 24.24 will the electromagnetic wave be more successful in inducing a current in the wire? Explain. Figure 24.24 Electromagnetic waves approaching long straight wiles.
Illustrate that the size of details of an object that can be detected with electromagnetic waves is related to their wavelength, by comparing details observable with two different types (for example, radar and visible light or infrared and X-rays).
In which situation shown below will the electromagnetic wave be more successful in inducing a current in the wire? Explain.
Radio waves normally have their E and B fields in specific directions, whereas visible light usually has its E and B fields in random and rapidly changing directions that are perpendicular to each other and to the propagation direction. Can you explain why?
What does a radio wave do to the charges in the receiving antenna to provide a signal for your car radio?
The rate at which information can be transmitted on an electromagnetic wave is proportional to the frequency of the wave. Is this consistent with the fact that laser telephone transmission at visible frequencies carries far more conversations per optical fiber than conventional electronic transmission in a wire? What is the implication tor ELF radio communication with submarines?
Calculate the ratio of the highest to lowest frequencies of electromagnetic waves the eye can see, given the wavelength range of visible light is from 380 to 760 nm. (Note that the ratio of highest to lowest frequencies the ear can hear is 1000.)
If you wish to detect details of the size of atoms (about 11010m ) with electromagnetic radiation, it must have a wavelength of about this size. (a) What is its frequency? (b) What type of electromagnetic radiation might this be?
Check Your Understanding What conclusions did our analysis of Maxwell's equations lead to about these properties of a plane electromagnetic wave: (a) the relative directions of wave propagation, of the E field, and of B field, (b) the speed of travel of the wave and how the speed depends on frequency, and (c) the relative magnitudes of the E and B fields.
