Things left to do in Ph 213: - Understand light and E, B and S. - Understand the concept of light polarization angles - Find the resonance frequency of LRC circuits. Next week: Monday: Chapter 34 Tuesday: Concept Test Wednesday: Review Part 1 Wed/Thurs Lab: Complete Finals Friday: Review Part 2 Saturday: Study Jam
Chapter 35 In this chapter, we re going to try to pull together everything we know about E and B fields. B E Let s have a proton moving through space experiencing both an E-field and a B-field. v0 + F = qE + qvxB Lorentz Force Law
35.3 An electron travels with v = 5106 m/s in a space where E = <2.0 105 ,-2.0 105 >V/m and B = -0.10k-hat T. What is the net force on the electron?
To B or not to B? It all depends upon your frame of reference. Bill is creating a magnetic field stationary to himself. Sharon is running with a charge stationary to herself.
What weve done so far: q Relates net electric flux to net charge enclosed = E d A enc Gauss Law o Relates net magnetic flux to net magnetic charge enclosed Gauss Law = 0 B d A dt d dt d = A changing magnetic flux induces an electric field = E V s d emf B B Faraday s Law d s d = + B I E Ampere-Maxwell Law A changing electric flux induces a magnetic field (as does an electric current) o o o enc dt
Lets try messing around a bit with Faradays Law dx y + dt d E d E = E s d B E x h + B Let s calculate the left had side of this equation. B d B z = + = ( ) E s d E dE h Eh hdE
Lets try messing around a bit with Faradays Law dx y + dt d E d E = E s d B E Now, let s work on the right side of the equation. x h + B B d B z d B= Bhdx dB B= hdx dt dt
dt d = E s d B d dB = E s d hdE B= hdx dt dt dB = hdE hdx dt B E dE dB = = x t dx dt
So, Faradays Law gives us this: E B = x t Doing a similar thing to Ampere s Law gives us: B E = o o x t
E B B E = = o o x t x t Take the derivative w.r.t. x on this Then substitute this in 2 E B B E = = = ( ) o 2 x x t t x t t o 2 2 E E = ( ) o 2 2 x t o Ah-ha! It s a wave Equation!
2 2 E E = ( ) o o 2 2 x t Ah-ha! It s a wave Equation! Thus you know: E = Eocos(kx- t) You also know that the speed of the wave is: 1 1 = = v o 12 9 . 8 7 4 10 10 o All in mks units
2 2 E E = ( ) o o 2 2 x t You can do the same thing for the B-field and find out the the same thing happens. Thus you know: E = Eocos(kx- t) B = Bocos(kx- t) You also know that the speed of the wave is: 1 1 = = v o 12 9 . 8 7 4 10 10 o c = 3 108 m/s
Lets try to visualize this: http://phet.colorado.edu
Thus you know: E = Eocos(kx- t) B = Bocos(kx- t) How are the amplitude of E and B related? Eo=cBo
Maxwell thus showed us that: E-fields and B-fields behave like self-perpetuating waves. These electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space. 1 The speed of EM waves is = c 1 o o = media c Corollary: E and B fields are perpendicular to each other and mutually perpendicular to the direction of travel. E = cB (in empty space) Like all waves, EM waves obey superposition rules.
A story problem to solve: 1) T.V. Signals from the Earth have now reached the nearest 400 suns. Survivor first aired 4 years ago. Has the Survivor show reached Alpha-Centauri yet? The Centauri system is 4 1013 km away. 2) The E-field at a TV broadcasting dish is measured to be 250V/m. Assuming a perfectly collimated beam, what would the B-field be at Alpha-Centauri? 3) The broadcast is sent at a frequency of 4 109Hz. What is the wavelength of the TV wave? 4) Let s say that a space probe at Alpha-Centauri is moving away from the Earth at speed of 1 108m/s. What frequency would Survivor be found on on TV on the Centauri probe?
Polarization http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/primer/java/polarizedlight/emwave/
Polarization fromBook The plane in which the E-field is waving is called the Plane of Polarization We can test the polarization of a wave by using a Polarizer and Malus Law. Itransmitted = Iocos2
