Homework Help Overview

The original poster seeks examples of applications where an electric field is scattered by a conductor in a two-dimensional context, mentioning a parabolic antenna as a reference point.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore various examples of electric field scattering, with one suggesting the reflection of radio waves off the ionosphere, while another emphasizes the need for a conductor specifically.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with participants providing different examples and clarifying the requirements of the original poster's question. There is no explicit consensus yet, as the original poster has specified a preference for conductors.

Contextual Notes

There is a focus on the definition of conductors in the context of electric field scattering, with some participants questioning whether the ionosphere qualifies as a conductor for the purposes of the original poster's request.

hey, does anyone know an application in which an electric field is scattered by a conductor (2D). A parabolic antenna is a good example, but i need another one.

thanks, levi

How about the reflection of radio waves off the ionosphere?
 
no, the reflection has to be off a conductor
thanks anyway
 
The ionosphere is a conductor.
