Problem Set No. 2

1) Argue that for a TEM wave two conductors are essential (Ref. pages 436-491 of text).

2) Problem 8.2a

3) Problem 8.7a

4) Problem 8.7c

5) Problem 8.8a

6) Deduce the dispersion relation for optical fiber modes (that is Eq. (8) Chapter 14.9). Express it as we have done in class.

(1) Prove the dispersion relation for the HE₁₁ mode. Show that it does not cut off. (in the weakly guiding limit)

(2) Why is it called HE₁₁

7) Problem 14.7c

8) Problem 14.9a

9) Problem 14.11c
