Question 17

A vertical transmitter aerial emits a vertically polarised electromagnetic wave which travels towards a vertical receiver aerial. The wavelength of the wave is 0.80 m0.80\text{ m}0.80 m.

a.

Calculate the frequency fff of the transmitted wave.

[2]
b.

The electromagnetic wave is caused by electrons oscillating in the transmitter aerial. Each electron oscillates with simple harmonic motion. Calculate the maximum acceleration amaxa_{\text{max}}amax​ of an electron which oscillates with an amplitude of 2.5×10−6 m2.5 \times 10^{-6}\text{ m}2.5×10−6 m.
