Test: Electromagnetic Waves- 2 - Question 1

The propagation constant γ for a material with μr = 1, εr = 8, σ = 0.25 pS/m and having the wave frequency of 1.6 MHz would be approximately equal to

Detailed Solution for Test: Electromagnetic Waves- 2 - Question 1

Given,
σ = 0.25 pS/m; μr = 1; εr = 8;
f = 1.6 x 106 Hz
Now,


or,   σ/ωε = 0.3515 x 10-9 ≈ 0 
or, σ  ≈ 0
Since σ = 0, therefore the material will behave as a perfect dielectric (α = 0).
∴ 

= 9.471 x 10-2 rad/m 
∴ Propagation constant,
γ = α + jβ = 0 + j 9.471 x 10-2 
≈ j.095 m-1

The average power per unit area conveyed by the wave is

Detailed Solution for Test: Electromagnetic Waves- 2 - Question 4

The average power per unit area is equal to the Poynting vector, the magnitude of which is given by

Test: Electromagnetic Waves- 2 - Question 5

Consider the following statements:
1. A wave whose phase is constant over a set of planes is called plane wave.
2. A wave whose phase is constant while magnitude is variable is called uniform plane wave.
3. The fields are non-uniform over plane surfaces.
4. Earth is considered as good conductor in one part of the radio frequency range and as dielectric in other frequency range.
Which of the above statements is/are not correct?

Detailed Solution for Test: Electromagnetic Waves- 2 - Question 5
  • A wave whose phase and magnitude both are constant is called uniform plane wave. Hence, statement-2 is not correct.
  •  A uniform plane is one in which lie in a plane and have the same value everywhere in that plane at any fixed instant.
  • The fields are uniform over plane surfaces. Hence, statement-3 is also not correct.
Test: Electromagnetic Waves- 2 - Question 6

Assertion (A): Displacement current directly passes through the capacitor.
Reason (R): The current through a capacitive element is called displacement current.

Detailed Solution for Test: Electromagnetic Waves- 2 - Question 6

Assertion is not correct because it is not the displacement current which directly passes through a capacitor but it is only apparant current representing the rate at which the flow of charge takes place from one plate of the capacitor to the other plate.

Test: Electromagnetic Waves- 2 - Question 7

In a homogeneous, isotropic, linear and stationary media, a plane electromagnetic wave has the following characteristics.

Detailed Solution for Test: Electromagnetic Waves- 2 - Question 7

In a homogeneous, isotropic, linear and stationary media, ∇·E = ρ = 0 and both are transverse.

Test: Electromagnetic Waves- 2 - Question 8

Assertion (A): The distance to which a wave penetrates a conductor is known as depth of penetration.
Reason (R): The depth of penetration (δ) is defined as that depth in which the wave has been attenuated to ‘e’ percent of its original value.

Detailed Solution for Test: Electromagnetic Waves- 2 - Question 8

The depth of penetration (δ) is defined as that depth in which the wave has been attenuated to ‘1/e’ percent (37%) of its original value. Hence, reason is not a correct statement.

Test: Electromagnetic Waves- 2 - Question 9

The polarization of a dielectric is given by

Test: Electromagnetic Waves- 2 - Question 10

In a travelling electrom agnetic wave, E and H vector fields are

Test: Electromagnetic Waves- 2 - Question 11

A wave is incident normally on a good conductor. If the frequency of a plane electromagnetic wave increases four times, the skin depth, will

The electric field of a travelling wave is given by 100 cos(109t - 4x). The velocity and the wavelength are respectively.

Detailed Solution for Test: Electromagnetic Waves- 2 - Question 12

Given,
E = 100 cos (109t - 4x)
or, E = E0 cos (ωt - βx)
Here, ω = 109 rad/s
and β = 4
Thus, ve lo city of propag ation is
