A parabolic reflector focuses electromagnetic waves into a beam as shown in the figure. The electromagnetic radiation is pulsed, with a pulse frequency of 19.0 GHz, and the duration of each pulse is
t = 1.00 ns.
The face of the reflector has a radius of 3.00 cm, and the average power during each pulse is 29.0 kW. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.)
(d)
Determine the amplitude of the electric field (in kV/m) and magnetic field (in µT) in these electromagnetic waves.
Emax= kV/m
Bmax = µT
(e)
Assuming that this pulsed beam strikes an absorbing surface, compute the force (in µN) exerted on the surface during the 1.00 ns duration of each pulse.
