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

1.31 A proton has 3 quarks. Let there be n 'up quarks', then number of 'down quarks' = 3-n

Charge due to n 'up quarks' = (23 e) n

Charge due to (3-n) 'down quarks' =-13e)(3-n) 

Total charge on a proton = +e = (23 e) n +  ( -13e)(3-n) 

e =  2ne3 +ne3-e

2e = 3ne3

n = 2

Number of 'up quark' = 2 and number of 'down quark' = 1. Therefore a proton can be represented as 'uud'.

A neutron has 3 quarks. Let there be n 'up quark' in a neutron and (3-n) 'down quark'

Charge due to n 'up quark' = +(23 e)n

Charge due to (3-n) 'down quark' = 
- ( 13e)(3-n)

Since total charge of a neutron is zero, we get

+ (23e)n -(13e)(3-n) = 0


(23 e)n = ( 13e)(3-n)

2en3=e-en3

en = e or n = 1

Hence number of 'up quark' in neu

8.10 Frequency of the electromagnetic wave, ν  = 2.0 * 10 10  Hz

Electric field amplitude, E 0  = 48 V/m

Speed of light, c = 3 * 10 8 m/s

Wavelength of a wave is given by,

λ = c ν = 3 * 10 8 2.0 * 10 10 = 0.015 m

Magnetic field strength is given by

B 0 = E 0 c = 48 3 * 10 8 = 1.6 10-12 T

Energy density of the electric field is given as,

U E 1 2 ? 0 E 2 and energy density of magnetic field is given by,

U B = 1 2 B 2 μ 0

w h e r e

E 0  = Permittivity of free space

μ 0 =  Permeability of free space

We have the relation connecting E and B as:

E = cB, where c = 1 ? 0 μ 0

Hence E = B ? 0 μ 0 i ?

E 2  = B 2 ? 0 μ 0

? 0 E 2 = B 2 μ 0

2 U E = 2 U B  or U E = U B

8.9 Energy of a photon is given as:

E = h ν = hcλ , where

h = Planck's constant = 6.6 *10-34 Js

c = Speed of light = 3 *108 m/s

λ = wavelength of radiation

Hence, E = 6.6*10-34*3*108λ J = 1.98*10-25λ J = 1.98*10-25λ*1.602*10-19 eV = 1.236*10-6λ eV

The following table lists the photon energies for different parts of an electromagnetic spectrum for different λ

Take a long thin wire XY of uniform linear charge density λ. Consider a point A at a perpendicular distance l from the midpoint O of the wire. Let E be the electric field at point A due to the wire XY. Consider a small length element dx on the wire section with OZ = x. Let q be the charge on this piece.

Q = λdx

Electric field due to the piece,

dE =  = 14πε0*λdx(AZ)2  = 14πε0*λdx(l2+x2)since AZ =l2+x2

The electric field is resolved into two rectangular components. dE cos?θ is the perpendicular component and dEsin?θ  When the whole wire is considered, the component dE sin?θistheparallelcomponent. is cancelled. Only the perpendicular component dE cos?θ affects point A.

Hence

8.8 Electric field amplitude, E0 = 120 N/C

Frequency of source, ν = 50 MHz = 50 *106 Hz

Speed of light, c = 3 *108 m/s

Magnitude of magnetic field strength is given as

B0= E0c = 1203*108 = 4 *10-7 T = 400 *10-9 T = 400 nT

Angularfrequencyofthesourceisgivenas ω = 2 πν = 2 *π* 50 *106

Wavelength of wave is given as

λ=cν = 3*10850*106 = 6.0 m

Suppose the wave is propagating in the positive x direction. Then, the electric field vector will be in the positive y direction and the magnetic field vector will be in the positi

8.7 The amplitude of magnetic field of the electromagnetic wave in a vacuum,

B0 = 510 nT = 510 *10-9 T

Speed of the light in vacuum, c = 3 *108 m/s

Amplitude of electric field of the electromagnetic wave is given by the relation,

E = c B0 = 3 *108* 510 *10-9 N/C = 153 N/C

Hence, the electric field part of the wave is 153 N/C.

1.29 Let us consider a conductor with a cavity or a hole. Electric field inside the cavity is zero. Let E be the electric field outside the conductor, q is the electric charge, σis the charge density and ε0 is the permittivity of free space.

Charge q =σ *ds 

According to Gauss's law, fluxφ = E.ds = q?0=σ*ds?0

Hence, E = σ2ε0n

Therefore, the electric field just outside the conductor is σ2ε0n . This field is a superposition of field due to the cavity E' and the field due to the rest of the charged conductor E'. These fields are equal and opposite inside the conductor and equal in magnitude and direction outside the conductor.

So E' + E' = E

E'&n

8.5 The lowest tuning frequency ν1 = 7.5 MHz = 7.5 *106 Hz

The highest tuning frequency ν2 = 12 MHz = 12 *106 Hz

Speed of light, c = 3 *108 m/s

The wavelength for lowest tuning frequency, λ1 = cν1 = 3*1087.5*106 = 40 m

The wavelength for highest tuning frequency, λ2 = cν2 = 3*10812*106 = 25 m

The wavelength of the band is 40m to 25 m
