Embibe Experts Solutions for Chapter: Electromagnetic Waves, Exercise 1: Exercise

In Hertz's experiment during demonstration of electromagnetic wave, sparks of voltage passed metal electrodes of detector loop easily of 

What are the losses in optical fibre?
 

A plane electromagnetic wave is incident on a material surface. If the wave delivers momentum $p$ and energy $E$, then

From the Maxwell's equation show that Electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave

A transmitter consists of LC circuit with an inductance of $1\mathrm{\mu H}$ and a capacitance of $1\mathrm{\mu F}$. What is the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves it emits?

Let an electromagnetic wave propagate along the x direction, the magnetic field oscillates at a frequency of ${10}^{10}$ $\mathrm{Hz}$ and has an amplitude of ${10}^{-5} \mathrm{T}$ acting along the y direction. Then, compute the wavelength of the wave. Also write down the expression for electric field in this case.

What does the Maxwell's equation explain?

What are the applications of microwaves?
