2. An electromagnetic wave of f =¿ MHz and P+¿=1001 , coming from a wave
generator located 12 cm from the wall, which impinges from the air
( η1 =120 π Ω )perpendicularly on a wall with an intrinsic impedance
η2= ( 455+10=465 ) =465 Ω and 20 cm thick. The wall is made of a non-magnetic
and non-dissipative material. On the other side of the wall is a receiver
located 20cm away.

a. Calculate the coefficient of reflection Ґ and transmission τ seen by the
generator.

Solution: coefficient of reflection Ґ

Interpretation: According to the concepts explored, explain the meaning of
the value obtained for Ґ , τ and Pt .

3. An electromagnetic wave propagates through several media as shown in the

graph.

Figure 3: Propagation of “oblique wave” in finite media.

Initially the ray travels through the ice layer striking the air layer at point B,
forming an angle of θa =50 °. Using Snell's Law, calculate step by step the total
path of the wave to determine the value of "d". Note that each layer is
(CCC +10)mm thick.
