1 Alternating urrent ircuits and Electromagnetic Waves licker Questions Question O. Description: Relating object color to the wave nature of light. Question A particular object appears to be red. The reason it appears red is:. t absorbs only red frequencies as they hit.. t reflects only red frequencies as they hit.. t absorbs red frequencies more than other frequencies. 4. t reflects red frequencies more than other frequencies. 5. t emits red frequencies more than other frequencies. 6. Not enough information. ommentary Purpose: To hone the concept of color as a property of an object. Discussion: f an object appears red when you look at it, the light emanating from it and reaching your eye must be predominantly red in frequency. Physically, answers (), (4), and (5) are all possible. ase (5) would describe a glowing object such as a neon sign or red ED. Most common objects, however, do not emit light, but rather reflect some of the light striking them. A real red object will reflect predominantly red frequencies of light, but will not perfectly absorb all other frequencies. Thus, (4) is a better answer than (). f you interpret a particular object as a typical non-luminous object, (4) would be the best answer. However, (6) not enough information is defensible, since you were not told whether the object is luminous, which would make (5) accurate. Key Points: The apparent color of an object is determined by the mix of frequencies in the light traveling from it to the observer; the light from a red object will be dominated by light in the red portion of the spectrum. An object may emit light if it is luminous (glowing), but most objects merely reflect some of the light incident upon them. For nstructors Only Questions that may support productive discussion: What will you see if you look at a red object through a piece of red-tinted glass? How about through blue-tinted glass? f you shine red light on it? Or blue light? How does an RGB monitor display millions of different colors? 5

The human eye is most sensitive to yellow.. Yellow frequencies are transmitted better through the atmosphere.. Air does not absorb yellow frequencies. 4. The temperature of the Sun is 6 K. 5. More than one of the above. 6. None of the above. ommentary Purpose: To probe your understanding of the colors of glowing objects, and to connect physics processes to your everyday experience. Discussion: Hot matter emits photons of many frequencies, but more of some frequencies than others. The higher the temperature of the matter, the more high-frequency photons are emitted. f the temperature high enough, the emitted light will be visible (have enough photons in the visible part of the spectrum), the color will be determined by the mix of photon frequencies. The higher the temperature, the closer to the blue end of the spectrum the radiated light will appear. At a temperature of about 6 K, the mix of radiated photon frequencies is such that the object will appear to glow yellow. This accounts for the sun s color when overhead. Other stars, having different surface temperatures, have different colors: there are red stars, blue stars, etc. Key Points: Objects glow when hot enough. The mix of photon frequencies emitted, and thus the color, depends on the temperature of the object. The sun s surface temperature is approximately 6 K, resulting in its yellow color. For nstructors Only This question is most effectively used before covering the relevant material on light and black-body radiation, to elicit student s preconceptions and motivate learning of the material. Question O. Description: inking optics to real-world experience of color. Question The sky appears to be blue during the day because:. Air absorbs blue light less than other frequencies (i.e., acts like a blue filter).. Air molecules emit blue light after being struck by sunlight.

3 54 hapter. The sky reflects blue light from the oceans. 4. The temperature high in the Earth s upper atmosphere is K. 5. None of the above. ommentary Purpose: To connect physics processes to your everyday experience. Discussion: When light travels through the atmosphere, some of the photons collide with air molecules and change directions (a process called scattering ), and most travels through unscattered. Some photons are more likely to be scattered than others, however; photons toward the blue end of the visible spectrum are far, far more likely to scatter than those near the red end. Thus, when sunlight travels through the atmosphere, much of the blue light scatters off in various directions. An observer looking at the sun sees photons of all colors traveling directly without scattering; an observer looking elsewhere in the sky sees photons that have reached her after scattering off an air molecule, and these are predominantly blue. Thus, the proper answer to Why is the sky blue? is that Blue photons are much more likely to scatter from air molecules than photons of other colors. This is not on the list, so none of the above (5) is the best choice. Key Points: When light travels through air, some of the photons collide with air molecules and scatter off in different directions. The frequency (color) of a photon strongly affects how likely it is to scatter off of an air molecule. The closer to the blue end of the visible spectrum, the more likely scattering is. The sky s color is due to photons that reach the observer after scattering from an air molecule. For nstructors Only This also is a good question to ask before students should know the right answer, to elicit preconceptions, stimulate discussion, and motivate subsequent learning. Depending on your students mathematical sophistication, they may appreciate knowing that the scattering probability of a photon from an air molecule goes as the fourth power of the frequency. This is not because blue molecules are bigger, but rather because of the quantum-mechanical nature of the scattering interaction. Discussion of the sky s color near sunrise and sunset has been omitted here, as that subject is taken up in Question O.4 (which makes a good follow-up to this one). We do want students to take none of the above answers seriously. Question O.4 Description: inking optics to real-world experience of color. Question The Sun appears to be red as it sets because:. Air absorbs red light less than other frequencies (i.e., acts like a red filter).. The sunlight has a red-shift when you re moving fastest away from it.

The Sun dies in a glorious fireball each evening and is reborn each morning. 6. None of the above. ommentary Purpose: To connect physics processes to your everyday experience. Discussion: When light travels through the atmosphere, some of the photons collide with air molecules and change directions (a process called scattering ), and most travels through unscattered. Some photons are more likely to be scattered than others, however; photons toward the blue end of the visible spectrum are far, far more likely to scatter than those near the red end. Thus, when sunlight travels through the atmosphere, much of the blue light scatters off in various directions. At sunset, light from the sun skims along the Earth s surface before reaching an observer, traveling through much more air than it does at midday. This means each photon has many more chances to scatter off in another direction, and by the time the sunlight has reached the observer, enough of the blue light has been scattered away that the remaining light looks reddish. This explanation does not appear among the listed answers, so none of the above is the best choice. ight does refract upon entering the atmosphere, but only slightly, about half a degree. Although refraction will cause separation of colors because of frequency dependence of the index of refraction, refraction is not the cause of the red light at sunset. At midday, more blue light scatters away than for other colors, but enough remains that the sun s color is not significantly altered from its original yellowish-white color. Key Points: When light travels through air, some of the photons collide with air molecules and scatter off in different directions. The frequency (color) of a photon strongly affects how likely it is to scatter off of an air molecule. The closer to the blue end of the visible spectrum, the more likely scattering is. As blue photons are disproportionately scattered out of the sun s light, the remaining light is increasingly reddish in appearance. For nstructors Only This question makes a good follow-up to Question O.: it requires the same principles as discussed there, but asks students to reason further with them. This checks how well they grasp those principles (as opposed to just memorizing the answer) and helps them solidify the ideas. QUK QUZZES. (c). The average power is proportional to the current, which is nonzero even though the average current is zero. (a) is only valid for an open circuit, for which R. and (d) can never be true because i av for A currents.

5 56 hapter.. hoices (a) and (c) are incorrect because the unaligned sine curves in Figure.9 mean the voltages are out of phase, and so we cannot simply add the imum (or ) voltages across the elements. (n other words, R + + even though v vr + v + v.).. losing switch A replaces a single resistor with a parallel combination of two resistors. Since the equivalent resistance of a parallel combination is always less than the lowest resis tance in the combination, the total resistance of the circuit decreases, which causes the impedance Z R + X X to decrease. total 4. (a). losing switch A replaces a single resistor with a parallel combination of two resistors. Since the equivalent resistance of a parallel combination is always less than the lowest resistance in the combination, the total resistance of the circuit decreases, which causes the phase angle, φ tan ( X X ) R, to increase. 5. (a). losing switch B replaces a single capacitor with a parallel combination of two capacitors. Since the equivalent capacitance of a parallel combination is greater than that of either of the individual capacitors, the total capacitance increases, which causes the capacitive reactance X π f to decrease. Thus, the net reactance, X X, increases causing the phase angle, φ tan ( X X ) R, to increase. 6.. nserting an iron core in the inductor increases both the self-inductance and the inductive reactance, X π f. This means the net reactance, X X, and hence the impedance, Z Rtotal + X X decrease., increases, causing the current (and therefore, the bulb s brightness) to 7., (c). Since pressure is force per unit area, changing the size of the area without altering the intensity of the radiation striking that area will not cause a change in radiation pressure. n, the smaller disk absorbs less radiation, resulting in a smaller force. For the same reason, the momentum in (c) is reduced.., (d). The frequency and wavelength of light waves are related by the equation λ f v or f v λ, where the speed of light v is a constant within a given medium. Thus, the frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other, when one increases the other must decrease. ANSWERS TO MUTPE HOE QUESTONS. 7 V V, so (c) is the correct choice.. When the frequency doubles, the current, X, π f is cut in half. Thus, the new current is. A 5. A and (e) is the correct answer.. A., X 6. 7 V, so choice (a) is correct. π f π 6. Hz. π F 4., X f. A 6.

6 Alternating urrent ircuits and Electromagnetic Waves The battery produces a constant current in the primary coil, which generates a constant flux through the secondary coil. With no change in flux through the secondary coil, there is no induced voltage across the secondary coil, and choice (e) is the correct answer. 7. The peak values of the electric and magnetic field components of an electromagnetic wave are related by E B c, where c is the speed of light in vacuum. Thus, ( ) 7 E cb. ms. 5 T 45 N which is choice (d).. When a power source, A or D, is first connected to a R combination, the presence of the inductor impedes the buildup of a current in the circuit. The value of the current starts at zero and increases as the back emf induced across the inductor decreases somewhat in magnitude. Thus, the correct choice is (c). 9. The voltage across the capacitor is proportional to the stored charge. This charge, and hence the voltage v, is a imum when the current has zero value and is in the process of reversing direction after having been flowing in one direction for a half cycle. Thus, the voltage across the capacitor lags behind the current by 9, and (a) is the correct choice.. n an R circuit, the instantaneous voltages vr, v, and v (across the resistance, inductance, and capacitance, respectively) are not in phase with each other. The instantaneous voltage v R is in phase with the current, v leads the current by 9, while v lags behind the current by 9. The instantaneous values of these three voltages do add algebraically to give the instantaneous voltages across the R combination, but the voltages across these components do not add algebraically. The voltages across the three components must be added as vectors (or phasors) to obtain the correct voltage across the R combination. Among the listed choices, choice (e) is the false statement.. n an A circuit, both an inductor and a capacitor store energy for one-half of the cycle of the current, and return that energy to the circuit during the other half of the cycle. On the other hand, a resistor converts electrical potential energy into thermal energy during all parts of the cycle of the current. Thus, only the resistor has a nonzero average power loss. The power delivered to a circuit by a generator is given by P av cosφ, where φ is the phase difference between the generator voltage and the current. Among the listed choices, the only true statement is choice (c).. f the voltage is a imum when the current is zero, the voltage is either leading or lagging the current by 9 (or a quarter cycle) in phase. Thus, the element could be either an inductor or a capacitor. t could not be a resistor since the voltage across a resistor is always in phase with the current. f the current and voltage were out of phase by, one would be a imum in one direction when the other was a imum value in the opposite direction. The correct choice for this question is (d).. At resonance, X X, and the phase difference between the current and the applied voltage is φ tan X X R tan The correct answer is choice (c).

A. hoice (a) is the correct answer. Z 5 Ω π ( 5. Hz )(. 75 F) 5 Ω, ANSWERS TO EVEN NUMBERED ONEPTUA QUESTONS. At resonance, X X. This means that the impedance Z R + X X reduces to Z R. 4. The fundamental source of an electromagnetic wave is a moving charge. For example, in a transmitting antenna of a radio station, charges are caused to move up and down at the frequency of the radio station. These moving charges set up electric and magnetic fields, the electromagnetic wave, in the space around the antenna. 6. Energy moves. No matter moves. You could say that electric and magnetic fields move, but it is nicer to say that the fields stay at that point and oscillate. The fields vary in time, like sports fans in the grandstand when the crowd does the wave. The fields constitute the medium for the wave, and energy moves.. The average value of an alternating current is zero because its direction is positive as often as it is negative, and its time average is zero. The average value of the square of the current is not zero, however, since the squares of positive and negative values are always positive and cannot cancel.. The brightest portion of your face shows where you radiate the most. Your nostrils and the openings of your ear canals are particularly bright. Brighter still are the pupils of your eyes.. The changing magnetic field of the solenoid induces eddy currents in the conducting core. This is accompanied by Rconversion of electrically transmitted energy into internal energy in the conductor. 4. The voltages are not added in a scalar form, but in a vector form, as shown in the phasor diagrams throughout the chapter. Kirchhoff s loop rule is true at any instant, but the voltages across different circuit elements are not simultaneously at their imum values. Do not forget that an inductor can induce an emf in itself and that the voltage across it is 9 ahead of the current in the circuit in phase. PROBEM SOUTONS. (a) R, R (. A )(. Ω) 96. V R, ( R, ) ( 96.
