32. When you use Maxwell's equations to determine electric
and magnetic fields, a lot depends on making the “right"
choice for the integration path. What happens if you choose
the "wrong" path? Do the equations still hold? Consider a
parallel-plate capacitor with circular plates, but use a rectan-
gular integration path that has two sides parallel to the plates
and two sides perpendicular to them, as in Figure P30.32.
What do you get? •

(a) Find the maximum electric field in the beam. (b) What total energy is contained in a 1.00-m length of the beam? (c) Find the momentum carried by a 1.00-m length of the beam. Step 1 We will find the reasonable size of the electric field in a beam of bright light. At the speed of light, only a small fraction of a joule is contained in a meter-length beam. The momentum of the beam is a very small fraction of a kg. m/s. Light is described by energy and momentum but possesses no mass. Step 2 We will use the equation relating the intensity of light to the wave amplitude. From the definition of intensity, we can find the energy content of the beam of light. Then the relationship between momentum, energy, and the speed of light will give us the momentum of a length of the beam. Step 3 The intensity of light I is given by the average magnitude of the Poynting vector. We have 2 I = S₂ avg P Tr²…arrow_forwardElectromagnetic waves can propagate through a vacuum. The speed of electromagnetic waves in a medium is always greater than the speed of light in vacuum. Electromagnetic waves can exhibit both particle-like and wave-like properties. The energy carried by an electromagnetic wave is directly proportional to its frequency. The electromagnetic spectrum encompasses a wide range of wavelengths, from radio waves to gamma rays.
