If you have an EM wave traveling in the +y-direction and the maximum Magnetic field is B=3.0x10-12 T î. What direction is the Electric field traveling?
2. What is the magnitude of the electric field at the maximum point?
3. What is the Poynting vector for the maximum points of this EM wave?
4. The intensity is the average value of the function of the poynting vector. If you multiply each magnitude (E and B) by a sine function, you’ll get sin2(wt) that multiplies E and B for some w. Find the average value of the trigonometric function, and use it to find the intensity of the electromagnetic wave.
can you please answer part 4 and explain what formula you used to solve it
light from a chromatic light source strikes a surface. twenty percent is reflected and thirty percent is absorbed.
a. what percentage of the light incident on the surface is transmitted.
b. what are the reflectance, absorption, and transmittance values
c. in your opinion, is the surface receiving the light or dark in color.
d. is the surface translucent or opaque.
Which of the following best explains the reason for taking three measurements at each light intensity instead of a single measurement?
Select one or more:
a. By taking three measurements at each light intensity, the investigator could identify any result that was not expected and repeat the measurements until the expected result was obtained.
b. By taking three measurements at each light intensity, the investigator could eliminate any result that did not support the hypothesis.
c. By taking three measurements at each light intensity, the investigator could be more confident in the accuracy of the measurements than if the measurement had been made only once.
