The correct Answer is:
To find the wave impedance of a medium with a given dielectric constant and relative magnetic permeability, we can use the formula for wave impedance \( Z \): \[ Z = \sqrt{\frac{\mu_r}{\epsilon_r} \cdot \frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_0}} \] Where: - \( \mu_r \) is the relative magnetic permeability, - \( \epsilon_r \) is the relative permittivity (dielectric constant), - \( \mu_0 \) is the permeability of free space (approximately \( 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \, \text{H/m} \)), - \( \epsilon_0 \) is the permittivity of free space (approximately \( 8.854 \times 10^{-12} \, \text{F/m} \)). Given: - \( \epsilon_r = 2 \) - \( \mu_r = 50 \) ### Step 1: Substitute the values into the wave impedance formula \[ Z = \sqrt{\frac{50}{2} \cdot \frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_0}} \] ### Step 2: Simplify the fraction inside the square root \[ Z = \sqrt{25 \cdot \frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_0}} \] ### Step 3: Calculate \( \frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_0} \) The value of \( \frac{\mu_0}{\epsilon_0} \) is known to be approximately \( 376.6 \, \Omega \). ### Step 4: Substitute this value back into the equation \[ Z = \sqrt{25 \cdot 376.6} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the product \[ Z = \sqrt{9415} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the square root \[ Z \approx 97 \, \Omega \] ### Final Answer The wave impedance of the medium is approximately \( 97 \, \Omega \). ---
