Chapter 7, Problem 5P
A wave radiated by a source in air is incident upon a soil surface, whereupon a part of the wave is transmitted into the soil medium. If the wavelength of the wave is 60 cm in air and 20cm in the soil medium, what is the soil’s relative permittivity? Assume the soil to be a very low-loss medium.

This question is about Wave propagation and I want to answer in 20 minutes
A uniform plane wave has a wavelength of 2 cm in free space and 1 cm in a perfect dielectric. What is tbe relative permittivity of the of the dielectric ?
A uniform plane wave in air partially reflects from the surface of a material whose
properties are unknown. Measurements of the electric field in the region in front of
the interface yield a 1.5-m spacing between maxima, with the first maximum occur-
ring 0.75 m from the interface. A standing wave ratio of 5 is measured. Determine
the intrinsic impedance, 1„, of the unknown material.
