+¿=100 mW /m ¿
1. An electromagnetic wave of f =¿ MHz and P1 , incident from the air
(η1 =120 π Ω), perpendicular to an infinite wall with an intrinsic impedance
η2=(CCC +10) Ω. Calculate the reflected power P1 and the transmitted power
−¿ ¿

2 to the wall.
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 concept of power, explain the meaning of
−¿ ¿ +¿¿
the value obtained for P1 and P2 .

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=(CCC +10) 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.
b. Determine in [%] and [mW /m2 ]the power Pt that is transmitted to the
receiver.
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 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 =5 0 °. 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.
