ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES

Responses to Questions
1.

If the direction of travel for the EM wave is north and the electric field oscillates in an eastwest plane,
then the magnetic field must oscillate up and down. For an EM wave, the direction of travel, the
electric field, and the magnetic field must all be perpendicular to each other.

2.

No, sound is not an electromagnetic wave. Sound is a longitudinal mechanical (pressure) wave, which
requires a medium in which to travel. The medium can be a gas, a liquid, or a solid. EM waves do not
need a medium in which to travel.

3.

EM waves can travel through a perfect vacuum. The energy is carried in the oscillating electric and
magnetic fields, and no medium is required to travel. Sound waves cannot travel through a perfect
vacuum. A medium is needed to carry the energy of a mechanical wave such as sound, and there is no
medium in a perfect vacuum.

4.

No. Electromagnetic waves travel at a very large but finite speed. When you flip on a light switch, it
takes a very small amount of time for the electrical signal to travel along the wires from the switch to
the lightbulb.

5.

The wavelengths of radio and TV signals are much longer than those of visible light. Radio waves are
on the order of 3 m30,000 m. TV waves are on the order of 0.3 m3 m. Visible waves are on the
order of 107 m.

6.

It is not necessary to make the lead-in wires to your speakers the exact same length. Since electrical
signals in the wires travels at nearly the speed of light, the difference in time between the signals
getting to the different speakers will be too small for your ears to detect.

7.

Wavelength of 103 km: sub-radio waves (or very long radio waves; for example, ELF waves for
submarine communication fall into this category). Wavelength of 1 km: radio waves. Wavelength
of 1 m: TV signals and microwaves. Wavelength of 1 cm: microwaves and satellite TV signals.
Wavelength of 1 mm: microwaves and infrared waves. Wavelength of 1 m: infrared waves.

Yes, radio waves can have the same frequencies as sound waves. These 20- to 20,000-Hz EM waves
would have extremely long wavelengths when compared to the sound waves, because of their high
speed. A 5000-Hz sound wave has a wavelength of about 70 mm, while a 5000-Hz EM wave has a
wavelength of about 60 km.

9.

The receiver antenna should also be vertical for obtaining the best reception. The oscillating carrier
electric field is up and down, so a vertical antenna would pick up that signal better. That is because
the electrons in the metal antenna would be forced to oscillate up and down along the entire length
of the vertical antenna, creating a stronger signal.

10.

Diffraction effects (the bending of waves around the edge of an object) are evident only when the size
of the wavelength of the wave is on the order of the size of the object (or larger). AM waves have
wavelengths that are on the order of 300 m long, while FM waves have wavelengths on the order of
3 m long. Buildings and hills are much larger than FM waves, so FM waves will not diffract around
the buildings and hills. Thus the FM signal will not be received behind the hills or buildings. On the
other hand, these objects are smaller than AM waves, so the AM waves will diffract around them
easily. The AM signal can be received behind the objects.

11.

Cordless phones utilize EM waves when sending information back and forth between the handset (the
part you hold up to your ear/mouth) and its base (which is sitting in your house, physically connected
to the wire phone lines that lead outside to the phone companys network). These EM waves are
usually very weakyou cant walk very far away from the base before you lose the signal. Cell
phones utilize EM waves when sending information back and forth between the phone and the nearest
tower in your geographical area (which could be miles away from your location). These EM waves
need to be much stronger than cordless phone waves (or the cell phone electronics need to be more
sensitive) because of the larger distances involved.

12.

Transmitting Morse code by flashing a flashlight on and off creates an AM wave. The amplitude of the
carrier wave is increasing/decreasing every time you turn the flashlight on and off. The frequency of
the carrier wave is visible light, which is on the order of 1014 1015 Hz.

Responses to MisConceptual Questions


1.

(a, b) All electromagnetic waves have the same velocity in a vacuum. The velocity is the product of
the wavelength and frequency. Since X-rays and radio waves have different wavelengths but the
same speed, they will also have different frequencies.

2.

(c)

3.

(a, b, c, e, f, g, h) All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. The only listed wave that is
not an electromagnetic wave is (d ) ultrasonic wave, which is a sound wave and would travel at
the speed of sound.

4.

(e)

A common misconception is that electromagnetic waves travel at different speeds. They do not,
as they all travel at the speed of light.

5.

(c)

In empty space, X-ray radiation and a radio wave both travel at the speed of light. X-ray
radiation has a much smaller wavelength than a radio wave. Since wave speed is equal to the
product of the wavelength and the frequency, and both waves travel at the same speed, the X-ray

Visible light has a wavelength on the order of 107 to 108 m. This is over a thousand times
larger than the size of an atom.

Electromagnetic Waves

radiation has a higher frequency than a radio wave. The amplitude depends upon the intensity of
the wave, so either the X-ray radiation or the radio wave could have the greater amplitude.
6.

(b)

Frequency is the measure of the number of oscillations made per second. The rate at which the
electrons oscillate will be equal to the oscillation frequency of the radiation emitted.

7.

(d)

A common misconception is to think that the radiation decreases linearly with distance, such that
the intensity would decrease by a factor of two. However, the radiation intensity decreases as the
square of the distance. Doubling the distance will decrease the radiation intensity to one-fourth
the initial intensity.

8.

(a)

The direction of the magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling and
perpendicular to the electric field, so only north and south are possible answers. The right-hand
rule can be used to determine which direction is correct by pointing fingers in the direction of the
electric field (west) and bending them in the direction of the magnetic field (north), resulting in
the thumb pointing in the direction of the wave (down).

9.

(c)

A misconception that can arise is thinking that the wave intensity is proportional to just one of
the field amplitudes. However, the intensity is proportional to the product of the amplitudes, with
the field amplitudes proportional to each other. If the intensity doubles, then each field (electric
and magnetic) must increase by the same factor, 2.

10.

(d)

A common misconception is that every color surface will experience the same radiation pressure.
However, the pressure is related to the change in momentum of the light. With a black object, all
of the light is absorbed, so the radiation pressure is proportional to the incident momentum. With
a colored object, some of the light is reflected, thus increasing the change in momentum of the
light and therefore increasing the radiation pressure as compared to the black object. For a white
object, the maximum amount of light is reflected off the surface, creating the greatest change in
momentum of the light and the greatest radiation pressure.

11.

(c)

A common misconception is that the digital broadcast uses a different frequency than the analog
broadcast. This is incorrectthe carrier wave frequency is the same. Since the antenna is
designed for operation at the broadcast frequency, the antenna will work just as well with a
digital signal.

The current in the wires is the rate at which charge is accumulating on the plates and also is the
displacement current in the capacitor. Because the location in question is outside the capacitor, use the

The frequency of the two fields must be the same: 90.0 kHz.
The rms strength of the electric field is found from Eq. 222.
Erms = cBrms = (3.00 108 m/s)(7.75 109 T) = 2.33 V/m

The electric field is perpendicular to both the direction of travel and the magnetic field, so the electric
field oscillates along the horizontal northsouth line.

The frequency of the wave is given by Eq. 224.


f =

This frequency is just inside the red end of the visible region, so it is red visible light.

No, you cannot hear a 1000-Hz EM wave. It takes a pressure wave to excite the auditory system.
However, if you applied the 1000-Hz EM wave to a speaker, you could hear the 1000-Hz

We convert the units from light-years to meters.


d = (4.2 ly)(3.00 108 m/s)(3.16 107 s/yr) = 4.0 1016 m

The distance is the rate (speed of light) times the time (1 year), with the appropriate units.
d = (3.00 108 m/s) (3.156 107 s/yr) = 9.47 1015 m

The microphone was inside the helmet. The Moon has essentially no atmosphere, so there would not
be sound waves in free space on the Moon. The helmet is filled with breathable air, so the microphone
has to be inside the helmet so that the sound waves will travel in the air around the astronauts head,
inside the helmet.

Chapter 22

The radiation from the Sun has the same intensity in all directions, so the rate at which energy passes
through a sphere centered at the Sun is P = I (4 R 2 ). This rate must be the same at any distance from
the Sun. Use this fact to calculate the magnitude of the intensity at Mars, and then use the intensity
vector to calculate the rms magnitude of the electric field at Mars.

According to Fig. 228, satellite TV waves have a wavelength of approximately 0.03 m. Example 222
says that the wavelength is 4 times the antennas length. So the antenna might be 0.075 m in length.

55.

Use the relationship between average intensity (the magnitude of the Poynting vector) and electric
field strength, as given by Eq. 228. Also use the fact that intensity is power per unit area. We assume
that the power is spherically symmetric about the source.

This answer is not an accurate description of the full situation. There is also a gravitational

This is many orders of magnitude higher than the power output of commercial radio stations, which

We find the average intensity at the 12-km distance from Eq. 228. Then the power can be found from
the intensity, assuming that the signal is spherically symmetric, using the surface area of a sphere of
radius 12 km.

Calculator: A typical graphing calculator is about 18 cm 8 cm, which is about 140 cm 2 , so


yes, the solar panel can be mounted directly on the calculator. Hair dryer: A house of floor area
1000 ft 2 would have a roof area on the order of 100 m 2 , so yes, a solar panel on the roof
should be able to power the hair dryer. Car: This would require a square panel of side length
about 12 m, which is much larger than the car. So no, this panel could not be mounted on a car
and used for real-time power.
