In Fig. 36.35, a microwave transmitter at height a above the water level of a wide lake transmits...
14. A microwave transmitter at height a above a large lake transmits towards a receiver at the other end, located at height x. The microwaves reflecting from the water interfere with the microwaves arriving directly from the transmitter. Assume the lake width D is much larger than either a or x, and that the microwave wavelength is greater than or equal to a. Derive an expression that gives the values of x for which the signal at the receiver is...
2. A water balloon is thrown upward from a window 25 m above the ground and hits the ground 2.95 s later. What's the maximum height above the window that the balloon reaches? a) 3.77 m b) 2.59 m c) 2.21 m d ) 1.82 m e) 1.17 m 400 m 3. A student who can swim with a speed of 2.5 m/s in still water wants to get to the other side of a 400 m wide river whose...
Consider a cylindrical capacitor like that shown in Fig. 24.6. Let d = rb − ra be the spacing between the inner and outer conductors. (a) Let the radii of the two conductors be only slightly different, so that d << ra. Show that the result derived in Example 24.4 (Section 24.1) for the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor then reduces to Eq. (24.2), the equation for the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, with A being the surface area of...
