plez..I want your help :(

I have HW is Difficult for me

if anybody can help me :(

Q1:
1)In a conducting media the wave equation:
\Delta^2E=\mu\sigmadE/dt+\mu\epsilond2E/dt2

has solution of the type E(z, t) = E0 exp [ i (kZ –w t)], where
\kappa^2 = \mu\epsilon w2 + i \mu\sigma w.
a) Find explicit expressions for real and imaginary parts of \kappa .
b)Show that in a good conductor the electric field leads the magnetic field by 45(deg) and find the ratio of their amplitudes. ?


Q2:
A monochromatic plane polarized electromagnetic wave
E(r, t) = E0 sin (k. r – w t) is traveling eastward.
The wave is polarized with E directed vertically up and down alternately. Calculate E, B and the Poynting vector S provided that the amplitude of the electric field strength is 0.05 V/m and the frequency = 6 MHz. Also, find the <S>?

plez I want to the answer. befor friday night

thanx for all

Hi pop, Welcome to PF!:smile:

As per the forum rules, you need to show some attempt at a solution in order to get assistance here.

Hi pop! Welcome to PF! :smile:

(try using the X2 tag just above the Reply box :wink:)

(also, if you use LaTeX, just put tex and \tex at the start and end of each line; and ∇ is \nabla not \Delta :wink:)


Q1:
1)In a conducting media the wave equation:
2E = µ σ dE/dt + µ ε d2E/dt2

has solution of the type E(z, t) = E0 ei (kZ –w t), where
k2 = \mu\epsilon w2 + i \mu\sigma w.
a) Find explicit expressions for real and imaginary parts of \kappa .
b)Show that in a good conductor the electric field leads the magnetic field by 45(deg) and find the ratio of their amplitudes. ?

For 1a), just differentiate … what equations do you get? :smile:

And that should help you with 1b) :wink:

hi
For 1a), just differentiate … what equations do you get? :smile:

yah I know ...if i do this i will get :
k2 = \mu\epsilon w2 + i \mu\sigma w.

but i don't need this i need Eq 9.126 in Ch 9
in Griffiths. Electrodynamics 3ed :biggrin:
>> sorry i can't write it :)

any way thanks a lot ...i did it

I still wait to your help in Q2

This forum supports LaTeX, which should make writing vector equations easier for you. For example, a general monochramitic plane wave is given by

\vec{E}(\vec{r},t)=\vec{E_0}e^{i(\vec{k}\cdot\vec{r}-\omega t)}

...Now, as for your question, I'd start by picking a coordinate system (for example, positive x-direction="East" and "vertical"=positive y-direction) and then write explicitly the polarization unit vector and wave vector and use that to re-write \vec{E}(\vec{r},t).

Then, use Faraday's Law to calculate \vec{B}(\vec{r},t). And finally calculate <S>.

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
