When radio waves try to pass through a city, they encounter thinvertical slits: the separations between the buildings. this causesthe radio waves to diffract. in this problem, you will see howdifferent wavelengths refract as they pass through a city andrelate this to reception for radios and cell phones. you will usethe angle from the center of the central intensity maximum to thefirst intensity minimum as a measure of the width of the centralmaximum (where nearly all of the diffracted energy isfound).
**consider radio waves of wavelength lambda entering a city where thebuildings have an average separation of a.**
a.) find the angle theta to the first minimum from thecenter of the central maximum (express your answer in terms oflambda and a.):

**assume that the average spacing between buildings is a=20\; \rm m.**
b.) what is the angle theta_fm to the first minimum foran fm radio station with a frequency of 101 \rm mhz? (express your answer numerically indegrees to three significant figures. note: do not write youranswer in terms of trignometric functions. evaluate any suchfunctions in your working.)

c.) what is the angle theta_cell for a cellular phonethat uses radiowaves with a frequency of 900 \rm mhz? (express your answer indegrees to three significant figures.)

d.) what problem do you encounter in tryingto find the angle theta_am for an am radio stationwith frequency 1000 \rm khz?
i.) the angle becomes zero.
ii.) the angle can be given only in radians.
iii.) to find the angle it would be necessary to takethe arcsine of a negative number.
iv.) to find the angle it would be necessary totake the arcsine of a number greater than one.

Chapter 23, problem 075 the figure shows a geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation (radiation that causes ionization of atoms). the counter consists of a thin, positively charged central wire surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge. thus, a strong radial electric field is set up inside the shell. the shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. a particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. the resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. however, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. more free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. the resulting "avalanche" of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. suppose the radius of the central wire is 24 âµm, the inner radius of the shell 2.3 cm, and the length of the shell 14 cm. if the electric field at the shell's inner wall is 2.8 ă— 104 n/c, what is the total positive charge on the central wire?
