This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

The orientation of the portable radio with respect to broadcasting station is important because the electromagnetic waves are plane polarised, so the receiving antenna should be parallel to the vibration of the electric or magnetic field of the wave.

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

(i) UE= 1 2 ε o E 2

UB= 1 2 B 2 μ o

So total energy density = UE+ UB= 1 2 ε o E 2 + 1 2 B 2 μ o

E= Eo/ 2  and B=Bo/ 2

Uav= 1 4 ε o E 2 + 1 4 B 2 μ o

(ii) We know Eo=cBo and c = 1/ μ 0 ε 0

1 4 B 2 μ o = 1 4 E o 2 c 2 μ o = 1/4 ε o E o 2

UE= UB

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

E(s,t)= μ o I o cos ? 2 π v t I n s a k

Now displacement current Jd=eo d E d t = ε o d d t μ o I o cos ? 2 π v t I n s a k

= μ o ε o I o v d d t [ c o s 2 v π t I n s a k ]

= v 2 c 2 2 π I o s i n 2 π v t I n a s k

2 π a 2 λ ) 2 I 0 = ( a π λ ) 2 I 0 = 2 π I 0 λ 2 ina/s sin2 π v t k

Id= J d s d s d θ = 0 1 J s s d s 0 2 π d θ

  =( 2 π λ )2 I o 0 a a s s d s s i n π v t

= a 2 2 2 π λ 2 I o s i n 2 π v t 0 a I n a s . d ( s a ) 2

After solving this we get

Id= a 2 4 ( 2 π λ ) 2 I 0 s i n 2 π v t

Id= 2 π a 2 λ 2 I o s i n 2 π v t = I o d s i n 2 π v t

Iod= ( 2 π a 2 λ ) 2 I 0 = ( a π λ ) 2 I 0

I o d I o = ( a π λ ) 2

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Suppose the distance between the plates is d and applied voltage is Vt= V02

Then electric field is E= V d sin(2 π v t )

Jc= 1 ρ V 0 d s i n ( 2 π v t )

  =  J 0 c s i n 2 π v t

J 0 c   = V 0 ρ d

Jd= ε d E d t = V 0 ρ d

   = ε 2 π v V 0 d cos(2 π v t )

   = J0d cos 2 π v t

J0d= 2 π V ε V 0 d

J 0 d J 0 c = 2 πVερ = 2 π80ε0 v * 0.25 = 4 πε0 v *10 =4/9

E= λ e s 2 π ε 0 a j

And B= μ 0 i 2 π a i= μ 0 λ v 2 π a i

Then S= 1 μ 0 {E * B }= 1 μ 0 { λ j 2 π ε 0 a * μ 0 i 2 π a λ i }

8.15 Long distance radio broadcasts use shortwave bands because only these bands can be refracted by ionosphere.

It is necessary to use satellites for long distance TV transmissions because television signals are of high frequencies and high energies. Thus these signals are not reflected by ionosphere. Hence, satellites are helpful in reflecting TV signals. Also they help in long distance TV transmissions.

With reference to X-ray astronomy, X-rays are absorbed by the atmosphere. However, visible and radio waves can penetrate. Hence, optical and radio telescopes are built on the ground, while X-ray astronomy is possible only with the help

8.13 A body at a particular temperature produces a continuous spectrum of wavelengths. In case of a black body, the wavelength corresponding to maximum intensity of radiation is given according to Plank's law. It can be given by the relation,

T = 0.29 cmK

λ m = 0.29 T cm K, where λ m

= maximum wavelength and T = temperature

Thus, the temperature for different wavelengths can be obtained as:

For λ m  = 10 - 4 cm, T = 2900 ° K

For λ m  = 5 * 10 - 5 cm, T = 5800 ° K

For λ m  = 10 - 6  cm, T = 290 * 10 3 ° K and so on

The numbers obtained tell us that temperature ranges are required for obtaining radiations in different parts of an electromagnetic spectrum. As the wavelength d

8.12 Power rating of the bulb, P = 100 W

Power of visible radiation, P v = 5% of 100 W = 5 W

Distance from the bulb, d = 1 m

Intensity of radiation at that point is given as:

I = P v 4 π d 2 = 5 4 π * 1 2 = 0.398 W/ m 2

Distance from the bulb, d = 10 m

Intensity of radiation at that point is given as:

I = P v 4 π d 2 = 5 4 π * 10 2 = 3.978 * 10 - 3  W/ m 2
