Explanation 1) Concept: The light intensity at a point on the receiver depends on the difference of path length from the transmitter; the intensity will be maximum at d s i n θ = m λ , when m is an integer, and for minimum intensity d s i n θ = m + 1 2 λ , with m = 0,1 , 2,3 , … But due to phase change of π r a d occurring due to reflection of wave from water, the point of minimum intensity will become point of maximum intensity in this case. 2) Formula: i) sin 2 ⁡ θ = tan 2 ⁡ θ 1 + tan 2 ⁡ θ ii) Binomial theorem 1 ± x 1 2 ≈ 1 ± 1 2 x + … + h i g h e r o r d e r t e r m s 3) Given: i) Lake width, D ii) Height of microwave transmitter from the water level, a iii) Height of receiver from the water level, x iv) Microwave with wavelength λ ≥ a 4) Calculations: Suppose the wave w 1 goes directly to the receiver and covers a distance L 1 and wave w 2 is reflected from water and covers a distance L 2 = L 2 p + L 2 q , and the wave w 2 suffers change of phase of λ 2 . To get constructive interference at the receiver, the difference L 2 - L 1 must be an odd multiple of a λ 2 . Consider the figure given below: D = ( D p + D q ) a In the figure, T a n d R represent transmitter and receiver. D t a n θ = x ( D p + D q ) t a n θ = x t a n θ = x ( D p + D q ) Using formula (i), we get sin ⁡ θ = a + x D 2 + a + x 2 Using the above equation, we will have L 2 p = a s i n θ = a D 2 + a + x 2 a + x And, L 2 q =

Part A ■Review The uniform 150-lb stone (rectangular block) is being turned over on its side by pulling the vertical cable slowly upward until the stone begins to tip. (Figure 1) If it then falls freely (T = 0) from an essentially balanced at-rest position, determine the speed at which the corner A strikes the pad at B. The stone does not slip at its corner C as it falls. Suppose that height of the stone is L = 1.2 ft.

Consider the circuit shown in the figure. The battery has emf ε = 69 volts and negligible internal resistance. The inductance is L = 0.4 H and the resistances are R 1 = 12 Ω and R 2 = 9.0 Ω. Initially the switch S is open and no currents flow. Then the switch is closed. After leaving the switch closed for a very long time, it is opened again. Just after it is opened, what is the current in R 1?
