Chapter 9: Q16P (page 411)
Suppose, for some nonzero constants A, B, C, a, b, c, and for all x. Prove that a = b = cand A + B = C.
Short Answer
It is proved A + B = C and a = b = c.

Get started for freeShow that the mode cannot occur in a rectangular wave guide. [Hint: In this case , so Eqs. 9.180 are indeterminate, and you must go back to Eq. 9.179. Show that is a constant, and hence—applying Faraday’s law in integral form to a cross section—that , so this would be a TEM mode.]
Calculate the reflection coefficient for light at an air-to-silver interface at optical frequencies.
[The naive explanation for the pressure of light offered in section 9.2.3 has its flaws, as you discovered if you worked Problem 9.11. Here's another account, due originally to Planck.] A plane wave travelling through vaccum in the z direction encounters a perfect conductor occupying the region , and reflects back:
Suppose you send an incident wave of specified shape, , down string number 1. It gives rise to a reflected wave, , and a transmitted wave, . By imposing the boundary conditions 9.26 and 9.27, find and .
Light of (angular) frequency w passes from medium , through a slab (thickness ) of medium , and into medium (for instance, from water through glass into air, as in Fig. 9.27). Show that the transmission coefficient for normal incidence is given by
