strength of 1000 V/m?
2) The beam from a small laboratory laser typically has an intensity of about 1.0 x 10-3 W/m2.
Assuming that the beam is composed of plane waves, calculate the amplitudes of the electric and
magnetic fields in the beam.

distance in the same direction would the signal have the same maximum field strength if the
transmitter's output power were increased to 90 kW?

- One method of producing energy is to use a tapered channel (TAPCHAN), which diverts sea water into a reservoir as shown in the figure. As a wave approaches the shore through the closed tapered channel at A, its height will begin to increase until it begins to spill over the sides and into the reservoir. The water in the reservoir then passes through a turbine in the building at C' to generate power and is returned to the sea at D. If the speed of the water at A is VA = 2.5 m/s, and the water depth is hA = 3.4 m. Assume the fluid is an ideal fluid, that is, incompressible and frictionless. (Figure 1) B Determine the minimum height hB at the back B of the channel to prevent the water from entering the reservoir.
