I.E. Irodov Solutions on Electromagnetic Waves Radiation

1: An electromagnetic wave of frequency v = 3.0 MHz passes from vacuum into a non-magnetic medium with permittivity a = 4.0. Find the increment of its wavelength.


The velocity of light in a medium of relative permittivity c/√ε.

The change in wavelength of light (from its value in vacuum to its value in the medium) is

∆λ = (c/√ε)/v – c/v = c/v(1/√ε – 1) = -50 m

2: A plane electromagnetic wave falls at right angles to the surface of a plane parallel plate of thickness l. The plate is made of non-magnetic substance whose permittivity decreases exponentially from a value al at the front surface down to a value a, at the rear one. How long does it take a given wave phase to travel across this plate?


From the data of the problem the relative permittivity of the medium varies as

ε(x) = ε1 e –(x/l)ln(ε1/ ε2)

Hence the local velocity of light

v(x) = c/ √ε(x) = [c/ √ε1] e –(x/2l)ln(ε1/ ε2)

Thus, the required time,

Conduction current density= σE

Displacement current density:

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{\partial \vec{D}}{\partial t} = \varepsilon \varepsilon_0 \frac{\partial \vec{E}}{\partial t} = I \omega \varepsilon \varepsilon_0 \vec{E}\end{array} \)

Ratio of magnitudes = σ/ωεε0 = 2

8: Find the mean pointing vector (8) of a plane electromagnetic wave E = Emcos (ωt – kr) if the wave propagates in vacuum.


\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{E} = \vec{E_m}cos(\omega t – \vec{k}\vec{r})\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{H} = \sqrt{\frac{\epsilon_0}{\mu_0}} \frac{\vec{k}\times \vec{E_m}}{k}cos(\omega t – \vec{k}\vec{r})\end{array} \)

So,

\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{S} = \vec{E} \times \vec{H} = \sqrt{\frac{\epsilon_0}{\mu_0}} \vec{E_m} \times (\vec{k} \times \vec{E_m} )(1/k) cos^2(\omega t – \vec{k}.\vec{r})\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}<\vec{S}> = (1/2) \sqrt{\frac{\epsilon_0}{\mu_0}} \vec{E_m^2} \frac{\vec{k}}{k}\end{array} \)

9: A plane harmonic electromagnetic wave with plane polarization propagates in vacuum. The electric component of the wave has a strength amplitude Em = 50 mV/m, the frequency is v =100 MHz. Find:

(a) the efficient value of the displacement current density;

(b) the mean energy flow density averaged over an oscillation period.


E = Em cos(2πvt – kx)

(a)jdis = partial derivative of D with t =2πε0vEm sin(ωt-kx)

Therefore,

(jdis)rms = < j2dis>1/2 = √2 πε0vEm = 0.20 mA/m2.

(b) <Sx> = (1/2) √(ε0o) Em2

So, <Sx> = 3.3 μ W/m2.

10: A ball of radius R = 50 cm is located in a non-magnetic medium with permittivity ε = 4.0. In that medium a plane electromagnetic wave propagates, the strength amplitude of whose electric component is equal to Em = 200 Vim. What amount of energy reaches the ball during a time interval t = 1.0 min?


For the Pointing vector we can derive as in (196)

<s> = (1/2)√(εεoo)Em2

along the direction of propagation. Hence in time t (which is much longer than the time period T of the wave), the energy reaching the ball is

πR2 x (1/2)√(εεoo)Em2 x t = 5 kJ.

Hence source must be on the left.

13: Find the mean radiation power of an electron performing harmonic oscillations with amplitude a = 0.10 nm and frequency ω = 6.5.1014S-1.


\(\begin{array}{l}P = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}\frac{2 (\vec{P})^2}{3c^3}\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}|(\vec{P})^2|= (e \omega^2a)^2 cos^2 \omega t\end{array} \)

Thus,<P> =

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}\frac{2}{3c^3}( e \omega^2a)^2 \times 1/2\end{array} \)

= 51. X 10-15 W.

14: Find the radiation power developed by a non-relativistic particle with charge e and mass m, moving along a circular orbit of radius R in the field of a stationary point charge q.


Here

\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{P} = \frac{e}{m} \times force =\frac{e^2q}{mR^2} \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}\end{array} \)

Thus,

\(\begin{array}{l}P = \frac{1}{(4 \pi \epsilon_0)^3} (\frac{e^2q}{mR^2})^2 \frac{2}{3c^3}\end{array} \)

15: An electromagnetic wave emitted by an elementary dipole propagates in vacuum so that in the far field zone the mean value of the energy flow density is equal to So at the point removed from the dipole by a distance r along the perpendicular drawn to the dipole’s axis. Find the mean radiation power of the dipole, pole’s axis. Find the mean radiation power of the dipole.


We know that

So(r) α 1/r2

At other angles S(r, θ) α sin2 θ

Thus, S(r, θ) = So(r) sin2 θ = So sin2 θ

Average power radiated

= So x 4 πr2 x (2/3) = (8 π/3)S0r2.

16: The mean power radiated by an elementary dipole is equal to Po. Find the mean space density of energy of the electromagnetic field in vacuum in the far field zone at the point removed from the dipole by a distance r along the perpendicular drawn to the dipole’s axis.


Solution: From the previous problem.

P0 = (8πS0r2)/3

Or So = 3Po/8πr2

Therefore, <w> = S0/c = 3Po/8πcr2

17: An electric dipole whose modulus is constant and whose moment is equal to p rotates with constant angular velocity w about the axis drawn at right angles to the axis of the dipole and passing through its midpoint. Find the power radiated by such a dipole.


The rotating dispole has moments

px = p cos ωt, py = p sin ωt

\(\begin{array}{l}P = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}\frac{2}{3c^3} \omega^4 p^2 =\frac{p^2\omega^4}{6\pi \epsilon_0c^3}\end{array} \)

18: A free electron is located in the field of a plane electromagnetic wave. Neglecting the magnetic component of the wave disturbing its motion, find the ratio of the mean energy radiated by the oscillating electron per unit time to the mean value of the energy flow density of the incident wave.


If the electric field of the wave

\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{E} = \vec{E_0}cos \omega t\end{array} \)

Then this induces a dipole moment whose second derivative is

\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{\ddot{p}} = \frac{e^2 \vec{E_0}}{m}cos \omega t\end{array} \)

The radiated mean power is

<p> = (1/4πε0)(2/3c3)(e2E0/m)2 (1/2)

On the other hand, the mean Thus Pointing flux of the incident radiation is

19: A plane electromagnetic wave with frequency ω falls upon an elastically bonded electron whose natural frequency equals ωo. Neglecting the damping of oscillations, find the ratio of the mean energy dissipated by the electron per unit time to the mean value of the energy flow density of the incident wave.


For the elastically bound electron

\(\begin{array}{l}m \vec{\ddot{r}}+m \omega_0^2 \vec{r} =e \vec{E_o} cos \omega t\end{array} \)

This equation has the particular integral (i.e. neglecting the part which does not have the frequency of the impressed force)

\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{r}=\frac{e \vec{E_0}}{m} \frac{cos \omega t}{\omega_0^2 – \omega^2}\end{array} \)

and,

\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{\ddot{p}} = – \frac{e^2 \vec{E_0} \omega^2}{(\omega^2_0-\omega^2)m} cos \omega t\end{array} \)

Hence, P = mean radiated power

=

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \frac{2}{3C^3}(\frac{e^2\omega^2}{(\omega^2_0-\omega^2)m })^2\end{array} \)

The mean incident pointing flux is

<Sinc> = √(εoo) (1/2) Eo2

Therefore, P/<Sinc> = (μo /6 π) (e2/m)24/( ω20 – ω2)2)

20: Assuming a particle to have the form of a ball and to absorb all incident light, find the radius of a particle for which its gravitational attraction to the Sun is counterbalanced by the force that light exerts on it. The power of light radiated by the Sun equals P = 4 x1026 W, and the density of the particle is ρ = 1.0 g/cm3.


Let r = radius of the ball

R = distance between the ball and the Sun (r <<R).

M = mass of the Sun

y = gravitational constant Then

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{\gamma M}{R^2} \frac{4 \pi}{3} r^3 \rho = \frac{P}{4 \pi R^2}\pi r^2 (1/c)\end{array} \)

(The factor 1/c converts the energy received on the right into momentum received. Then the right hand side is the momentum received per unit time and must equal to the negative of the impressed force for equilibrium).

Therefore,

\(\begin{array}{l}r = \frac{3P}{16 \pi \gamma M c \rho} = 0.606 \mu m\end{array} \)
