Homework Statement


Question given: A dielectric interface is described by 4y+3z=12. The side including the origin is free space and its electric flux density, D=ax+3ay+2az (micro) C/m2. On the other side, (Epsilon)r2 = 2. Find D2.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


Ok, so this is how i try to solve it:
1. I get the unit vector of the equation given(but only make use of 4y + 3z).

2. Then i get the E1. (by using the eq D=(eps)E) thus getting: (ax+3ay+2az)(micro)eps^-1.
>> is it correct? because i am familiar doing it with E and not D. am i suppose to do it this way? or are there any better alternate ways?

3. Then i went on to get E1n by using the equation (E . an)(an).

4. Then E1t. (E1 = E1n + E1t)

5. Then E2n ( (Eps)r1 E1n = (Eps)r2 E2n) )

6. And finally, E2 = E2n + E2t. And using the eq D=(eps)E to get D2.


thank you.

One thing I see missing from all this is what the QUESTION itself is! What exactly are you trying to find?
 
the second step. if it is correct if i change the given D to E1 using the equation D=(eps)E.

apart from that, i want to know if my way of doing it is correct or not.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
