Question

1)Why is the solid metal panel so much more effective at blocking signals than the wooden one?

2)For the Malus's Law experiment, sketch an example of the electric field at between the transmitter and receiver.

-For the single-polarizer experiments, sketch the electric field between the transmitter and the polarizer and between the polarizer and the detector for the different orientation.

-Finally, for the double polarizr experiment, sketch the electric field between the transmitter and first polarizer, the electric field between the polarizers, and between the second polarizer and the detector.

-What is common between each situation where no signal is detected?

3)Explain why the metal panel is much more efficient at reflection than the wooden, independent of the incoming waves' polarization.

Explanation / Answer

1) The solid metal panel is more effective at blocking signals than the wooden panelbecause it can absorb the incoming signal as where the wooden simply doesn’t. As anincoming electric field moves charges inside the conductive material of the antennainducing a current that shakes back and forth.

2)

3) The metal panel is much more effective at reflection than the wood because metal panelsreflect most radiation, efficiency in high radiation and can also preserves coolertemperatures.
