Answer to Problem 77PQ

The equation for the electric field is E=(1.44×104V/m)sin[(1.01×107m1)z(3.02×1015rad/s)t] and the equation for the magnetic field is B=(48.0×106T)sin[(1.01×107m1)z(3.02×1015rad/s)t].

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression for the frequency of an electromagnetic wave.

    f=cλ                                                              (I)

Here c is the speed of light and f is the frequency of light and λ is the wavelength.

Write the expression for the angular frequency of the wave.

    ω=2πf                                                         (II)

Here, ω is the angular frequency and f is the frequency of the wave.

Write the expression for the wave number of the wave.

    k=2πλ                                                         (III)

Here, k is the wave number and λ is the wavelength of the wave.

Write the expression for the maximum electric field.

    Emax=cBmax                                                         (IV)

Here, Emax is the maximum electric field, c is the speed of light and Bmax is the maximum magnetic field.

Write the expression for the electric field of an electromagnetic wave.

    EZ=Emaxsin(kxωt)V/m                                                          (V)

Write the expression for the magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave.

    BZ=Bmaxsin(kxωt)T                                                           (VI)

Conclusion:

Substitute 3×108m/s for c and 625nm for λ in equation (I) to find f.

    f=3×108m/s(625nm×109m1nm)

  =4.8×1014Hz

Substitute equation (I) in the equation (II) to find ω.

    ω=2π(4.8×1014)=3.01×1015rad/s

Substitute 625nm for λ in the (III)equation to find k.

    k=2π(625nm×109m1nm)=1.01×107m1

Substitute 48.0μT for Bmax and 3×108m/s for c in (IV) to find Emax.

    Emax=(3.0×108m/s)(48.0μT×109T1μT)=1.44×104V/m

Substitute 1.44×104V/m for Emax, 1.01×107m1 for k, and 3.01×1015rad/s for ω in the (V) equation to find EZ

    EZ=(1.44×104V/m)sin[(1.01×107m1)z(3.02×1015rad/s)t]

Substitute 48.0μT for Bmax, 1.01×107m1 for k, and 3.01×1015rad/s for ω in(VI) equation to find BZ

    EZ=(1.01×106T)sin[(1.01×107m1)z(3.02×1015rad/s)t]

Therefore, the equation for the electric field is E=(1.44×104V/m)sin[(1.01×107m1)z(3.02×1015rad/s)t] and the equation for the magnetic field is B=(48.0×106T)sin[(1.01×107m1)z(3.02×1015rad/s)t].

I. Pushing on a File Cabinet Bob has been asked to push a heavy file cabinet down the hall to another office. It's not on rollers, so there is a lot of friction. At time t = 0 seconds, he starts pushing it from rest with increasing force until it starts to move at t = 2 seconds. He pushes the file cabinet down the hall with varying amounts of force. The velocity versus time graph of the cabinet is shown below. A. On the graphs provided below, 1. draw the net force vs. time that would produce this velocity graph; 2. draw the friction force vs. time for this motion; 3. draw the applied force (Fon Cabinet by Bob) VS. time for this motion (the first two seconds of this graph have been drawn for you).
