A plane harmonic electromagnetic wave is propagating in space along the y axis. If the E- field is linearly polarised in the yz-plane and if lamda= 500 nm, what is an expression for the corresponding B field when the irradiance is 53.2 W/m2?
A particle in the solar system is under the combined influence of the Sun’s gravitational attraction and the radiation force due to the Sun’s rays. Assume that the particle is a sphere of density 1.0 * 10^3 kg/m3 and that all the incident light is absorbed. (a) Show that, if its radius is less than some critical radius R, the particle will be blown out of the solar system. (b) Calculate the critical radius.
A plane electromagnetic wave of frequency 20 GHz moves in the positive y-axis direction such that its electric field is pointed along the z-axis. The amplitude of the electric field is 10 V/m. The start of time is chosen so thatat t = 0 , the electric field has a value 10 V/m at the origin. (a) Write the wave function that will describe the electric field wave. (b) Find the wave function that will describe the associated magnetic field wave.
