Competence to develop:
The student applies the concepts of physics and electromagnetism, to
determine the behavior of electromagnetic wave when propagated in
bounded open media, using mathematical methods to solve application
exercises.
Topics to develop:
- Propagation modes of electromagnetic waves.
- Propagation in bounded open media.
- Reflection and refraction of waves.
- Snell's Law.
Steps, phases of the learning strategy to develop
This activity called Task 2, is individual and collaborative, for its
development you must follow the 6 acts presented below:
Step 1: Explore the academic resource described in the next section
of this document "Activities to develop".
Step 2: Download the “Annex 3 - Delivery format – Task 2” found
in the collaborative learning environment in the "Activities guide
and evaluation rubric – Task 2 - Electromagnetic waves in
bounded open media" folder.
Step 3: Individually, based on the exploration performed, answer the
5 questions proposed in the next section "Activities to develop".
Step 4: Individually, based on the exploration performed, solve the 3
proposed application exercises. You must show the procedures.
Step 5: Each student must complete the application in its individual
delivery format, verifying the requirements of the evaluation rubric.
Step 6: In the 3 days, before the closing of the activity, the group
leader must gather the delivery formats of each student and compress
in a single file, which must be delivered in the Monitoring and
Evaluation Environment.
Activities to develop
For the development of this activity, explore in the Knowledge
Environment, in Unit 2, the bibliographical reference of Chen, W.
(2005), on pages 519-524, Wiley, J. y Sons Ltd. (2003), on pages 31-
51 and supplement with the aids generated by the tutor within the
forum, to solve the following consultation and application exercises:

Questions: (write with your own words)

1. What are the modes of propagation of electromagnetic waves?
2. What does it mean to polarize an electromagnetic wave?
3. What is the phenomenon of total reflection of an electromagnetic
wave?
4. What is the phenomenon of total refraction of an
electromagnetic wave?
5. What is the purpose of Snell's Law in the study of the
propagation of waves?

Application exercises:
For the development of the following exercises, note that ¿
corresponds to the group number and CCC to the first 3 digits of the
identification number.
2
0 mW /m ¿
1. An electromagnetic wave of f =¿ MHz and P+¿=12
1 , incident from
the air (η1 =120 π Ω), perpendicular to an infinite wall with an
 intrinsic impedance η2=CCC Ω . Calculate the reflected power P1
−¿ ¿

+¿¿
and the transmitted power P2 to the wall.

Figure 1: Propagation of “normal wave” in infinite medium.

mW /m ¿
2. An electromagnetic wave of f =¿ MHz and P+¿=1201 , coming from
a wave generator located 12 cm from the wall, which impinges
from the air ( η1 =120 π Ω )perpendicularly on a wall with an intrinsic
impedance η2=CCC Ω and 2 0 cm thick. The wall is made of a non-
magnetic and non-dissipative material. On the other side of the
wall is a receiver located 20cm away.

Figure 2: Propagation of “normal wave” in finite medium.

a. Calculate the coefficient of reflection and transmission

seen by the generator.
b. Determine in [%] and [mW /m2 ]the power that is
transmitted to the receiver.

3. An electromagnetic wave propagates through several media as

shown in the graph.
 Figure 3: Propagation of “oblique wave” in finite media.

Initially the ray travels through the ice layer striking the air layer
at point B, forming an angle of θa =44,9 ° . Using Snell's Law,
calculate step by step the total path of the wave to determine
the value of "d". Note that each layer is CCC mm thick and that at
point C there is a total refractive effect, so it is necessary to
identify which material is in layer 3 by calculating its refractive
index.

Plagiaris In the agreement 029 of December 13, 2013, article 99,
m policy the mistakes that infringe upon the academic order,
among others, are the following: paragraph e) “To
plagiarize is to present as your own work the whole or
part of a writing, report, task or document of invention
performed by another person. It also implies the use of
cites or lack of references, or includes cites where there is
no coincidence between them and the reference” and
paragraph f) ”To reproduce, or copy for profit, educational
 resources or results of research products, which have
intellectual rights reserved for the University”.
The academic punishments that the student will face are:
a) In case of academic fraud proved in the academic work
or evaluation, the score achieved will be zero (0.0)
without leading to disciplinary measures.
b) In case of plagiarism proved in the academic work of
any nature, the score achieved will be zero (0.0), without
leading to disciplinary measures.
