Tutorial Block 3-4

This document contains 4 questions regarding wave propagation in lossless media. Q1 provides expressions for the electric and magnetic fields of a 1 GHz plane wave travelling in a medium with a relative permittivity of 9. Q2 involves determining the wavelength, relative permittivity, and magnetic field based on an expression for the electric field. Q3 asks for the relative permittivity of a soil medium if the wavelength changes from 30cm in air to 15cm in the soil. Q4 gives the electric field of a plane wave and asks for the frequency, phase velocity, wavelength, wavenumber, and impedance, and also the magnetic field expression.

Q3
A wave radiated by a source in air is incident upon a soil surface, whereupon a part of
the wave is transmitted into the soil medium. If the wavelength of the wave is 30cm in
air and 15cm in the soil medium, what is the soils relative permittivity? Assume the
soil to be low-loss medium.
