The desired equation is then [Sr(z— 1008)) , x(z,t) = (0.005) si with @ and z in meters and ¢ in seconds. Problem 2 4m is the wavelength. ‘The wave speed in the medium is 108 m/s, so the index of refraction is n = c/w = (3 x 108)/(2 x (b) At y = 0.5m, cos($y) = cos(4) = 5. ‘The maximum value of sin(10*zt) is 1. ‘The par- ticular & and 2 values are irrelevant to the question, as this is a plane wave. The maximum EB value of interest is thus Eynax = JV /m Problem 3 (a) At resonance, the reactance X = (wh — phase angle ¢ is given by tang = X/R=0> 6 by the power supply is then = 0, so the impedance Z = R, and the The time-averaged power generated P=VI V6 ogg = W cos(0) = 22 2k (b) With (25 — WL) = 50 = R, the impedance is now Z = VR? + FE = V2R. We have X = (wh — 2h) = -50, s0 tang = X/R = —-1 = o = —45°. The time-averaged power generated is now (1) =10W Notice that cos(—45°) = cos(45°). (Note: This problem can also be solved by calculating the average power dissipated in the resistor (I?R), for energy conservation dictates that this be equal to the time-averaged power delivered by the power supply.)MIT 8.02 Spring 2002 ~ Exam #2 Solutions 2 Problem 4 (See homework problem 7.5.) The magnetic field lines will form closed loops, so the magnetic field strength will be approx- imately the same in the gap as in the bar. Taking this field strength to be roughly constant, we have _ f KB-dl=palyiacin > B(A +d) ~ mot , rw trace eM where L = 80cm, d= 4mm, N = 1000, and J = 2A. Solving for B: woNT_ (dmx 10°7)(1000)(2) _ ks L]m+d~— (0.8)/(200) +0.004 ~ 10 T+031i4T . Problem 5 (a) TRUE: The index of refraction is greater in water than in air, so the speed of light is slower in water than in air. The wavelength is \=v/f,sov | => 4, as the frequency will not change. (b) TRUE: The Poynting vector for a standing EM wave may be non-zero at an instant, but it will average to zero over one full period. Standing waves transmit no energy through space (See homework problem 9.4). (c) TRUE: We have propagation in —é direction, with the maxima of E, and B. in phase with one another => linear polarization (See homework problem 9.3). (a) TRUE: Total internal reflection will occur when the angle of incidence 0, > 8, where 6, is the angle of incidence for which the angle of refraction #, = 90°. From Snell's law, we find that sin 6, = n2/m.. Thus 6. depends on both n; and n» (but note that 6, only exists if m > m). END
