Textbook Question
Chapter 31, Problem 59GP
The metal walls of a microwave oven form a cavity of dimensions 37 cm × 37 cm × 20 cm. When 2.45-GHz microwaves are continuously introduced into this cavity, reflection of incident waves from the walls set up standing waves with nodes at the walls. Along the 37-cm dimension of the oven, how many nodes exist (excluding the nodes at the wall) and what is the distance between adjacent nodes? [Because no heating occurs at these nodes, most microwaves rotate food while operating.]

A laser beam at a wavelength of 1.11 μm is coupled into an optic fiber, resulting in 138.2 mW of light inside the fiber initially. The fiber is 4.75 km long and has an absorption coefficienct of 1.562 dB/km. What light power, in mW, is at the end of the fiber?
Two identical short dipole antennas are driven in phase with each other with equal strength and
emit readiation at a wavelength of = 0.1 meters.
One antenna is oriented in the y-direction and is located at (x,y,z) = (0,0,0). The other antenna
is oriented in the z-direction and is located at (x,y,z) = (d,0,0) where d > 0.
What is the smallest value of d for which the radiated far-field at a point (x.y,z) = (X, ,0, 0), x,>>
d, and A, is circularly polarized?
What happens to the polarization if d is now doubled?
Scientists are working on a new technique to kill cancer cells by zapping them
with ultrahigh-energy (in the range of 1.00×1012 W) pulses of light that last for
an extremely short time (a few nanoseconds). These short pulses scramble the
interior of a cell without causing it to explode, as long pulses would do. We can
model a typical such cell as a disk 5.00 μm in diameter, with the pulse lasting
for 4.00 ns with an average power of 2.00×1012 W. We shall assume that the
energy is spread uniformly over the faces of 100 cells for each pulse.
