Question
Chapter 24, Problem 1FC
To determine
To choose: The correct option from the given options.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1FC
The correct option is “(b) The wave travels along the z axis, and its electric field oscillates along the x axis”.
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
Refer to the Figure at the bottom of the question for the required data.
The drawing in the figure shows an x, y, z coordinate system. A circular loop of wire lies in the z, x plane. The circular loop detects an
The loop can detect the electromagnetic wave only when the magnetic field of electromagnetic wave has a component perpendicular to the circular loop’s plane.
As the circular loop of wire lies in the zx-plane, the magnetic field component of the wave is along the y-axis.
The directions of electric and magnetic fields of the wave are usually perpendicular to each other, and the travelling direction of the wave is perpendicular to both the electric and magnetic field directions of wave.
As the magnetic field of the wave is along the y-axis, the direction of the electric filed of the wave is along the z-axis, and the travelling direction of the wave is along the x-axis.
Therefore, from the given options, the option (b) is an adequate option.
Conclusion:
Thus, the correct option is “(b) The wave travels along the z axis, and its electric field oscillates along the x axis”.

Can someone help me
Need help on the following questions on biomechanics. (Please refer to images below)A gymnast weighing 68 kg attempts a handstand using only one arm. He plants his handat an angle resulting in the reaction force shown.A) Find the resultant force (acting on the Center of Mass)B) Find the resultant moment (acting on the Center of Mass)C) Draw the resultant force and moment about the center of mass on the figure below. Will the gymnast rotate, translate, or both? And in which direction?
Please help me on the following question (Please refer to image below)An Olympic lifter (m = 103kg) is holding a lift with a mass of 350 kg. The barexerts a purely vertical force that is equally distributed between both hands. Each arm has amass of 9 kg, are 0.8m long and form a 40° angle with the horizontal. The CoM for each armis 0.5 m from hand. Assuming the lifter is facing us in the diagram below, his right deltoidinserts 14cm from the shoulder at an angle of 13° counter-clockwise from the humerus.A) You are interested in calculating the force in the right deltoid. Draw a free body diagramof the right arm including the external forces, joint reaction forces, a coordinate system andstate your assumptions.B) Find the force exerted by the right deltoidC) Find the shoulder joint contact force. Report your answer using the magnitude and directionof the shoulder force vector.
