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
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
What is the skin depth in copper at 10 GHz? Assuming conductivity of copper σ = 5.8 x 107 mhos/m and permeability equal to that of free space.
Skin depth,

The velocity of a plane wave in a lossless medium having a relative permittivity of 4 and relative permeability of unity would be
For a lossless or perfect medium, velocity of plane wave is given by
An elliptically polarized wave travelling in the +z direction in air has x and y components

The average power per unit area conveyed by the wave is
The average power per unit area is equal to the Poynting vector, the magnitude of which is given by
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?
Assertion (A): Displacement current directly passes through the capacitor.
Reason (R): The current through a capacitive element is called displacement current.
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.
In a homogeneous, isotropic, linear and stationary media, a plane electromagnetic wave has the following characteristics.
In a homogeneous, isotropic, linear and stationary media, ∇·E = ρ = 0 and both are transverse.
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.
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.
In a travelling electrom agnetic wave, E and H vector fields are
A wave is incident normally on a good conductor. If the frequency of a plane electromagnetic wave increases four times, the skin depth, will
Skin depth (δ)
∴
When the frequency is increased 4-times, then skin depth will become half.
The electric field of a travelling wave is given by 100 cos(109t - 4x). The velocity and the wavelength are respectively.

In a dielectric-conductor boundary (interface), the tangential component of electric field is
Which of the following statements is not true of waves in general?
A wave can’t be a function of time only. It is function of both space and time.
When an EM wave is incident on a dielectric, it is
The quantity is known as Poynting vector, measured in watt/m2.
Poynting vector represents the instantaneous power density vector associated with the EM field at a given point, in other words, it gives rate of energy flow.
