Some scientists have suggested that spacecraft with sails of the kind described in Conceptual Example 4 could be propelled by lasers. Suppose such a sail is constructed of a highly reflective material thin enough so that one square meter of the sail has a mass of just 5.3×10−3 kg. The sail is to be propelled by an ultraviolet laser beam (wavelength = 215 nm) that will strike its surface perpendicularly. (a) Use the impulse-momentum theorem to determine the number of photons per second that must strike each square meter of the sail in order to cause an acceleration of 9.8×10−6 m/s2, which is one million times smaller than the gravitational acceleration at earth's surface. Assume that no other forces act on the sail, and that all the incident photons are reflected. (b) Determine the intensity (power per unit area) that the laser beam must have when it strikes the sail. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

(a) Derive the boundary condition on the tangential component of E, starting from Faraday's law in integral form. Assume time-independent fields. A microwave of frequency f = 3.5 MHz is propagating in the +z direction in a vacuum. It is normally incident upon the surface of a perfect conducting plane located at z = 0. The surface of the conductor lies on the xy-plane. The amplitude of the incident electric field is E0 and it is polarized in the x-direction. (b) State the vector relationship between the electric field E, magnetic field B and the propagation vector k. (c) Write down the incident and reflected electric and magnetic fields in complex phasor notation. (d) What is the value of the reflection coefficient R, given by the ratio of the complex amplitudes, R = E˜0r/E˜0i? (e) Given the attenuation coefficient, κ = ω√(μϵ/2 √(1+(σ/ϵω)^2 )-1). show that the skin depth is approximately inversely proportional to f^(1/2) for real conductors. State any assumptions used.

In a single-slit diffraction experiment, a beam of monochromatic light of wavelength 598 nm is incident on a slit of width of 0.454 mm. If the distance between the slit and the screen is 2.00 m, what is the distance between the central axis and the first dark fringe (in mm)?
