A possible means for making an airplane invisible to radar is to coat the plane with an antireflective polymer. If radar waves have a wavelength of 3.00 cm and the index of refraction of the polymer is n = 1.50, how thick would you make the coating?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]t=0.50cm[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Wavelength [tex]\lamda=3c[/tex]m

Refraction Index [tex]n=1.50[/tex]

Generally the equation for Destructive interference for Normal incidence is mathematically given by

[tex]2nt=m(\frac{1}{2})\lambda[/tex]

Since  Minimum Thickness occurs at

At [tex]m=0[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]t=\frac{\lambda}{2}[/tex]

[tex]t=\frac{3}{4(1.50)}[/tex]

[tex]t=0.50cm[/tex]
