Police radar detects the speed of a car (Fig. P38.15) as fol- lows. Microwaves of a precisely known frequency are broad- cast toward the car. The moving car reflects the microwaves with a Doppler shift. The reflected waves are received and combined with an attenuated version of the transmitted wave. Beats occur between the two microwave signals. The beat frequency is measured. (a) For an electromagnetic wave reflected back to its source from a mirror approaching at speed 2, show that the reflected wave has frequency :+ v where fis the source frequency. (b) Noting that v is much less than c, show that the beat frequency can be written as feat 2v/A. (c) What beat frequency is measured for a car speed of 30.0 m/s if the microwaves have frequency 10.0 GHz? (d) If the beat frequency measurement in part (c) is accurate to +5.0 Hz, how accurate is the speed measurement? %3D SPEED LIMIT 25 YOUR SPEED Figure P38.15 Bbe Bueg o
An acoustic wave strikes a boundary at medium 1 (1540 m/sec) with a 45 degrees. Upon entering medium 2 (980 m/sec) with oblique incidence, what will happen to the transmission angle?
Consider a plane boundary between medium 1 (ε = ε1, μ = μ0) and medium 2 (ε = ε2, μ = μ0). Find the value of ε2/ε1 for each of the following cases for TM-polarized uniform plane waves incident on the boundary from medium 1: (a) total internal reflection occurs for θi ≥ 60º. (b) the reflection coefficient is zero for θi = 60º. (c) the critical angle of incidence for total internal reflection is the same as the Brewster angle for incidence from medium 2.
Consider the geometry shown in the figure. The upper right quadrant is filled with a medium with a refractive index V3 and the rest of space is vacuum.

Imagine you are at a location where some incident light source provides light at an intensity of 10 W/m^2 Now you move to double your distance from the light source (aka your distance is 2 times its initial value) What is the intensity of the light at this new location (in units of W/m^2, provide only the number)? hp & %23 24 7 8. 3 4. y u e r j k b .. .. * 00 In
Two light sources of identical strength are placed 10m apart. An object is to be placed at a point P on a line l, parallel to the line joining the light sources and at a distance d meters from it (see the figure). We want to locate P on, so that the intensity of illumination is minimized. We need to use the fact that the intensity of illumination for a single source is directly proportional to the strength of the source and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. a) Find an expression for the intensity l(x) at the point P. b) If d = 5m, use graphs of l(x) and l'(x) to show that the intensity is minimized when x = 5m, that is, when P is at the midpoint of l. c) If d = 10m, show that the intensity (perhaps surprisingly) is not minimized at the midpoint. d) Somewhere between d = 5m and d = 10m there is a transitional value of d at which the point of minimal illumination abruptly changes. Estimate this value of d by graphical methods. Then find the exact value…
