A friend buys a used pickup truck that comes complete with a CB radio. However, the antenna is broken off, and your friend asks you to help make one out of a steel rod that he will affix to the rear bumper. You know that the frequency is 27.7 MHz and that the antenna must be a quarter-wavelength long. How long should you make the rod? L = m
Suppose a radio wave has a wavelength of 2.00 meters. What it the frequency of the
radiation? It may be helpful to recall that v = AF for electromagnetic waves, while
v = c = 3.00 × 108 m/s.

- The wavelengths of AM radio waves are so long—more than 200 m—that it would be impractical to make a (1)/(4) wavelength antenna to detect their electric field. Instead, AM radios detect the magnetic field of the wave using a coil of wire. The changing flux of the wave’s magnetic field induces an emf in the coil that is detected and amplified by the receiver. If you are standing to the west of an AM station that is broadcasting a vertically polarized wave, in which direction should the axis of the coil be oriented in order to best detect the wave?arrow_forwardA TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) device creates very rapidly changing magnetic fields. The field near a typical pulsed-field machine rises from 0 T to 2.5 T in 200 μs. Suppose a technician holds his hand near the device so that the axis of his 1.9-cm-diameter wedding band is parallel to the field. What emf is induced in the ring as the field changes? If the band is made of a gold alloy with resistivity 6.2×10−8Ω⋅m and has a cross-section area 4.5 mm2 , what is the induced current?arrow_forwardIn reading the instruction manual that came with your garage-door opener, you see that the transmitter unit in your car produces a 250 mW signal and that the receiver unit is supposed to respond to a radio wave of the correct frequency if the electric field amplitude exceeds 0.10 V/m. You wonder if this is really true. To find out, you put fresh batteries in the transmitter and start walking away from your garage while opening and closing the door. Your garage door finally fails to respond when you’re 42 m away. Are the manufacturer’s claims true?arrow_forward
