1 Problem 1. Energy during a burst of deceleration A particle of charge e moves at constant velocity, βc, for t < 0. During the short time interval, 0 < t < t its velocity remains in the same direction but its speed decreases linearly in time to zero. For t > t, the particle remains at rest. (a) Show that the radiant energy emitted per unit solid angle is dw dω = e β ( β cos θ) [1 + (1 β cos θ) ] sin θ (1) 64π c t (1 β cos θ) 4 (b) In the limit γ 1, show that the angular distribution can be expressed as where ξ = (γθ). dw dξ e β γ 4 4π c t ξ () (1 + ξ) 4 (c) Show for γ 1 that the total energy radiated is in agreement with the relativistic generalization of the Larmour formula. 1
2 Problem. An oscillator radiating (a) Determine the time averaged power radiated per unit sold angle for a non-relativistic charge moving along the z-axis with instantaneous position, z(t ) = H cos(ω o T ). (b) Now consider relativistic charge executing simple harmonic motion. instantaneous power radiated per unit solid angle is Show that the dp (T ) dω = dw dt dω = Here β = ω o H/c and γ = 1/ 1 β e cβ 4 sin θ cos (ω o T ) (3) 16π H (1 + β cos Θ sin ω o T ) 5 (c) In the relativistic limit the power radiated is dominated by the energy radiated during a short time interval around ω o T = π/, 3π/, 5π/,.... Explain why. Where does the outgoing radiation point at these times. (d) Let T denote the time deviation from one of this discrete times, e.g. T = 3π/(ω o ) + T. Show that close to one of these time moments: dp ( T ) dω = dw d T dω e π cβ 4 H γ6 (γω o T ) (γθ) (1 + (γθ) + (γω o T ) ) 5 (4) (e) By integrating the results of the previous part over the T of a single pulse, show that the time averaged power is dp (T ) dω = e 18π cβ 4 H γ5 5(γθ) (1 + (γθ) ) 7/ (5) (f) Make rough sketches of the angular distribution for non-relativistic and relativistic motion.
3 Problem 3. Periodic pulses Consider a periodic motion that repeats itself with period T o. Show that the continuous frequency spectrum becomes a discrete spectrum containing frequencies that are integral multiples of the fundamental, ω o = π/t o. Let the electric field from a single pulse (or period) be E 1 (t), i.e. where E 1 (t) is nonzero between 0 and T o and vanishes elsewhere, t < 0 and t > T o. Let E 1 (ω) be its fourier transform. (a) Suppose that the wave form repeats once so that two pulses are received. E (t) consists of the first pulse E 1 (t), plus a second pulse, E (t) = E 1 (t) + E 1 (t T o ). Show that the Fourier transform and the power spectrum is E (ω) = E 1 (ω) (1 + e iωto ) E (ω) = E 1 (ω) ( + cos(ωt o )) (6) (b) Now suppose that we have n (with n odd) arranged almost symmetrically around t = 0, i.e. E n (t) = E 1 (t+(n 1)T o /)+...+E 1 (t+t o )+E 1 (t)+e 1 (t T o )+... E 1 (t (n 1)T o /), (7) so that for n = 3 E 3 (t) = E 1 (t + T o ) + E 1 (t) + E 1 (t T o ). (8) Show that and E n (ω) = E 1 (ω) sin(nωt o/) sin(ωt o /) ( ) E n (ω) = E 1 (ω) sin(nωto /) (10) sin(ωt o /) (9) (c) By taking limits of your expressions in the previous part show that after n pulses, with n, we find E n (ω) = E 1 (ω m ) π δ(ω ω m ) (11) T m o and E n (ω) = nt }{{} o m total time where ω m = πm/t o. E 1 (ω m ) π δ(ω ω m ) (1) Remark We have in effect shown that if we define (t) δ(t nt o ). (13) Then the Fourier transform of (t) is ˆ (ω) = n n= e iωnto = m To π T o δ(ω ω m ). (14) 3
4 4 3 1 n = n = 10 n = 5 ( ) sin(nωto /) ωt o / 4
5 (d) Show that a general expression for the time averaged power radiated per unit solid angle into each multipole ω m mω o is: dp m dω = re(ω m) To (15) Or d ˆP m dω = e ωom 4 3π 4 c 3 To 0 [ v(t ) n exp iω m (T n r ] (T ) ) c dt, (16) Here d ˆP m /dω is defined so that over along time period T, the energy per solid angle is dw dω = T d ˆP m (17) dω Also note that we are summing only over the positive values of m which is different from how we had it in class: m=1 d ˆP m dω dp m dω + dp m dω (18) 5
6 Problem 4. Radiation spectrum of a SHO (a) Show that for the simple harmonic motion of a charge discussed in Problem the average power radiated per unit solid angle in the m-th harmonic is d ˆP m dω = e cβ 8π H m tan θ [J m (mβ cos θ)] (19) (b) Show that in the non-relativistic limit the total power radiated is all in the fundamental and has the value P = e 4π 3 ω4 oh (0) where H is the mean squared amplitude of the oscillation. 6
7 Problem 5. Physics of the relativistic stress tensor Consider a capacitor at rest. The area of each plate is A, and the electric field between the plates is E. The plates are orthogonal to the x axis (see figure). The rest mass of each plate is M pl. The plates are kept a distance d apart by four thin columns (not shown). We assume that each of these columns have mass M col, and there is a stress tensor in the columns due to the electric attraction of the plates. (There is also a surface stress tensor in the plates due to the electric repulsion of the charges on the plates, but you won t need this.) (a) Write down the expression for the energy-momentum tensor of the electromagnetic field Θ µν em in terms of the Maxwell field strength F µν. Show that the total rest mass Mc = d 3 r Θ 00 tot of the capacitor setup is: M tot c = M pl c + 4M col c + 1 E Ad (1) Remark. In practice the field term is very small compared to the first two terms, but we will include its effect in this problem. (b) Determine the non-vanishing components of the electromagnetic stress tensor integrated over space: d 3 r Θ αβ em. () (Hints: Θ xx em, Θ yy em, Θ zz em, Θ 00 em are non-zero. ) (c) Show that for a stationary configuration that d 3 r Θ ij tot(r) = 0 (3) (Hints: Explain why k Θ kj tot = 0, and then study the expression k (x i Θ kj tot) ) (d) Determine col Θzz mech in the columns, and interpret your result physically by showing the forces involved with a free body diagram. (e) Consider now an observer in frame K who is moving in the positive z direction with velocity v relative to the rest frame of the capacitor. According to special relativity the energy of the capacitor in frame K is γmc where γ = (1 (v/c) ) 1/. 7
8 (i) Show that the integrated electromagnetic stress tensor in frame K, Θ 00 em, is d 3 r Θ 00 em(r) = 1 E Ad 1 (v/c) (4) Here r are the boosted coordinates. (ii) Show that the integrated mechanical stress tensor including the plates and the columns d 3 r Θ 00 mech(r) = γ (M pl c + 4M col c ) + 1 E Ad (v/c) 1 (v/c) (5) (iii) Use these results to compute d 3 r Θ 00 tot(r) (6) in frame K and comment on the simple result. 8
