Two friends are playing with hand-held radio transceivers which have dipole antennas. If the antenna of the transmitting radio is vertical, and the antenna of the receiving radio is at an angle ? to the vertical, what is the received power as a percentage of the maximum possible received power at the receiving antenna in the following cases?
Your favorite radio program broadcasts 96.3 MHz. What is the wavelength corresponding to this broadcast? Theoretically, the antenna of your radio is half of the wavelength of the radio waves. How long should the antenna be for this frequency?
The wavelengths of AM radio waves are so long—more than 200 m—that it would be impractical to make a (1)/(4) wavelength antenna to detect their electric field. Instead, AM radios detect the magnetic field of the wave using a coil of wire. The changing flux of the wave’s magnetic field induces an emf in the coil that is detected and amplified by the receiver. If you are standing to the west of an AM station that is broadcasting a vertically polarized wave, in which direction should the axis of the coil be oriented in order to best detect the wave?
