A Marconi antenna, used by most AM radio stations, consists of the top half of a Hertz antenna (also known as a half-wave antenna because its length is /2). The lower end of this Marconi (quarter-wave) antenna is connected to Earth ground, and the ground itself serves as the missing lower hall.

Figure 24.26 shows the interference pattern of two radio antennas broadcasting the same signal. Explain how this is analogous to the interference pattern for sound produced by two speakers. Could this he used to make a directional antenna system that broadcasts preferentially in certain directions? Explain.

Unpolarized light passes through three polarizing filters. The first filter has its transmission axis parallel to the z direction, the second has its transmission axis at an angle of 30.0 from the z direction, and the third has its transmission axis at an angle of 60.0 from the z direction. If the light that emerges from the third filter has an intensity of 250.0 W/m2, what is the original intensity of the light?
Radio telescopes are telescopes used for the detection of radio emission from space. Because radio waves have much longer wavelengths than visible light, the diameter of a radio telescope must be very large to provide good resolution. For example, the radio telescope in Penticton, BC in Canada, has a diameter of 26 m and can be operated at frequencies as high as 6.6 GHz. (a) What is the wavelength corresponding to this frequency? (b) What is the angular separation of two radio sources that can be resolved by this telescope? (c) Compare the telescope’s resolution with the angular size of the moon.

Figure P24.69 shows a radio-wave transmitter and a receiver, both h = 50.0 m above the ground and d = 6.00 102 m apart. The receiver can receive signals directly from the transmitter and indirectly from signals that bounce off the ground. If the ground is level between the transmitter and receiver and a /2 phase shift occurs upon reflection, determine the longest wavelengths that interior (a) constructively and (b) destructively.

TV-reception antennas for VHF are constructed with cross wires supported at their centers, as shown in Figure 24.27. The ideal length for the cross wires is one-half the wavelength to he received, with the more expensive antennas having one for each channel. Suppose you measure the lengths of the wires for particular channels and find them to be 1.94 and 0.753 m long, respectively. What are the frequencies for these channels? Figure 24.27 A television reception antenna has cross wires of various lengths to most efficiently receive different wavelengths.
