A motorist is targeted by police radar when approaching a traffic control post. The radar emits at the frequency f=2.5 x 109 Hz and receives the reflected wave at a frequency of 250 Hz higher. Calculate the speed of the car.

Determine the expression of the wave equations for the electric and magnetic fields emitted by the radar. The average intensity is 40 W/m2. The wave propagates in the direction of Y>0. The electric field of the wave is maximum at the position x=y=z=0 and makes a 30 degree angle clockwise from X+ to Z+.

You must express the amplitude of the electric and magnetic fields as a vector component according to the unit vectors i, j, k.

Expert Solution

I have solved your problem which is shown below:

By using doppler effect for relativistic and using Averge Intensity relation I calculate the values of electric and magnetic field and their direction.

It is a calm summer day in southeast Iowa at the Ottumwa air traffic control radar installation - except there are some small, locally intense thunderstorms passing through the general area. Only two planes are in the vicinity of the station: American Flight 1003 is traveling from Minneapolis to New Orleans is approaching from the north-northwest, and United Flight 336 is traveling from Los Angeles to New York is approaching from west-southwest.

When the police want to know how fast your car is going, they shoot a "radar gun" at the car. The radar gun emits waves at approximately 24.15 GHz. Those waves reflect off of your car and are detected by the same "radar gun" that emitted them. The detector can detect both frequency and intensity. Using concepts of general physics, explain how the radar gun works. You probably want to draw pictures, use an equation or two, and use words.
