  Normal Incidence on a Planar Boundary

 Module 8.2: Medium-contrast Interface

Given: A 300-MHz plane EM wave in air (Medium 1) incident upon the planar boundary of a lossless dielectric medium with r = 9 (Medium 2).

 Q1.  What is the wavelength of the incident wave?
  1=  m  
 Q2.  What is the wavelength in Medium 2?
  2=  m  
 Q3.  What are the intrinsic impedances of Media 1 and 2?
  1=    
  2=    
 Q4.  What is the reflection coefficient at the boundary?
  =    
 Q5.  What is the transmission coefficient into Medium 2?
  =    
 Q6.  If the amplitude of the incident electric field is 10 V/m, what would be the amplitudes of the total fields in Media 1 and 2?
  |E1|max=  V/m  
  |E2|max=  V/m  
 Q7.  The combination of incident and reflected waves generates a standing wave pattern in Medium 1. How far from the interface in Medium 1 is the location of the first electric field maximum?
  lmax=  m  
 Q8.  What is the location of the first electric field minimum in Medum 1?
  lmin=  m
