Vedclass · Answer

(B) The propagation of radio waves into a tunnel depends on the phenomenon of diffraction. Diffraction is significant when the wavelength $(\lambda)$ of the wave is comparable to the size of the aperture (diameter $D = 10 \, m$).The wavelength is given by $\lambda = c/f$,where $c \approx 3 	imes 10^8 \, m/s$.For $f_1 = 3 	imes 10^6 \, Hz$,$\lambda_1 = (3 	imes 10^8) / (3 	imes 10^6) = 100 \, m$.For $f_2 = 30 	imes 10^6 \, Hz$,$\lambda_2 = (3 	imes 10^8) / (30 	imes 10^6) = 10 \, m$.For $f_3 = 3 	imes 10^9 \, Hz$,$\lambda_3 = (3 	imes 10^8) / (3 	imes 10^9) = 0.1 \, m$.Since the diameter of the tunnel is $10 \, m$,the signal with $\lambda_2 = 10 \, m$ matches the aperture size,leading to effective diffraction and better penetration into the tunnel compared to the others.

Even though an electric field $E$ exerts a force $qE$ on a charged particle, the electric field of an $EM$ wave does not contribute to the radiation pressure (but transfers energy). Explain.

If the intensity of an electromagnetic wave is $0.02 \ W/m^2$ and its velocity in free space is $3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$,then the energy density of the radiation is ..... $J/m^3$.

About $20 \%$ of the power of a $100 \ W$ bulb is converted to visible radiation. Assuming that the radiation is emitted isotropically and neglecting reflection,the average intensity of visible radiation at a distance of $5 \ m$ is $\frac{\alpha}{25 \pi} \ W/m^2$. The value of $\alpha$ is
