You are working as a radio technician. One day, you set up a standing wave pattern with radio waves between two metal sheets 2.00 m apart. You cannot achieve a standing wave pattern with any smaller distances between the sheets. From this information, you determine the frequency of the radio waves.

Figure P24.69 shows a radio-wave transmitter and a receiver, both h = 50.0 m above the ground and d = 6.00 102 m apart. The receiver can receive signals directly from the transmitter and indirectly from signals that bounce off the ground. If the ground is level between the transmitter and receiver and a /2 phase shift occurs upon reflection, determine the longest wavelengths that interior (a) constructively and (b) destructively.

3. TV-reception antennas for VHF are constructed with cross wires supported at their centers, as shown in the figure. 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 2.57 and 0.706 m long, respectively. What are the frequencies (in Hz) for these channels? f2.57 m= Hz f0.706 m= Hz

A telescope in Chile is able to observe light with a frequency of f0= 105.0 GHz (1GHz=10^9). When traveling through the vacuum of space (c=3.00x10^8), what is the wavelength of this light? - 350.0 m -2.86 mm -2.86 mm -31.5 mm At the telescope, the light enters a diamond (n=2.5). What is the frequency and speed of the light when in the diamond? Frequency (in GHz) -105.0 -261.5 -42.0 Speed(in m/s): -7.5x10^8 -3x10^8 -.83x10^8 -1.2x10^8 The light enters the diamond at an angle*delta inc* with respect to the normal of the diamonds surface. When entering the diamond, the light is refracted. How will this angle of refraction *delta ref* compare to the angle of incidence? (Is it greater, smaller, or the same? Or is there not enough info) The light was emitted by a star moving towards the telescope at 17.0x10^6 m/s. At what frequency was the light emitted by the star if it was observed to be f0=105.0GHz? (In GHz) - 5.6 - 111.3 - 105.0 - 99.4
