Activity
Application exercises:
For the development of the following exercises, note that ¿ corresponds to the
group number and CCC to the last 3 digits of the identification number.
1. An electromagnetic wave of f =CCC MHz is transmitted from the bottom of a
ship to a receiver located at p=1 Km depth. The wave is emitted with an
advance angle of a=(5+ ¿)° . Determine the time it takes for the wave to
reach the receiver.

For development, follow the following steps:
a. Calculate the tangent of losses tan(δ )=σ /ω ε .
b. Classify the behavior of the medium.
c. Calculate the propagation parameters of the wave γ , α and β .
d. Calculate the propagation speed of the V p wave. V p=ω/ β
e. Calculate the distance d between the ship and the receiver. d=P /cos ( a ) .
f. Based on V p and d determine the time t of the route. d=t∗V p

Attention, for the calculations:

1. Replace your values (with units) in the equation.
2. Perform the operation on a virtual scientific calculator. *
3. Paste the calculator image into the report.
4. Write the answer with your units.

Interpretation: according to the concepts explored, explain the meaning

of the value obtained for tan ( δ )and t .
2. From an airplane, which is h 1=1250 m high, a communication signal
f =CCC MHz is emitted to a submarine that is h 2=800 m deep, the angle of
incidence of the signal on the sea surface is a=(5+ ¿)° . Determine the time it
takes for the signal to reach the submarine. Note that Co=3 x 108 m/ s.

For development, follow the following steps:
a. Calculate the distance between the plane and the point of incidence at
sea d 1=h1 /sen ( a ).
b. Calculate the velocity of propagation of the wave V p 1 in the air (V p 1=Co/n
), where n is the refractive index of air.
c. Using Snell's Law, calculate the angle of refraction of the wave in the
sea.
d. Calculate the distance between the point of incidence in the sea and the
submarine.
e. Calculate the propagation speed of the wave V p 2 at sea (take V pfrom
exercise 1).
f. Based on V p 1 and d 1 determine the time t 1of the first path (t 1=d 1 /V p 1).
g. Based on V p 2 and d 2 determine the time t 2of the second path (t 2=d 2 /V p 2).
h. Calculate the total time of the route t=t 1+ t 2.
