Magnetron limits

To produce higher frequencies by a magnetron, one needs higher plate (anode) voltage and a stronger magnetic field, to keep the electrons within the central cavity. So, first limit is the magnet, if …

What determines how much light is reflected and refracted?

Look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_equations This is for transparent media, the formulas for metals are somewhat more complicated.

Magnetic fields and gravitational waves. How far do they reach?

In this thread one point was not discussed yet, as far as I read: That "wire" (which everybody will assume to be straight) is misleading. A wire with a battery makes a electric ciruit! "Circuit" ha …

Why do car keys have longer range when held next to your head?

It works with a lot of body parts. It will work with a piece of wire too. This keys work at about 433 Mhz, a resonant Lamda/4 antenna is about 18 cm. Obviously the whole key is shorter, the antanna …

How do laser rangefinders work when the object surface is not perpendicular to the laser beam?

so only a tiny fraction of beam energy is reflected back to the device. This tiny fraction is enough. With respect to ambient light: One can modulate the laser beam, and filter the the voltage …

Is a superconductor perfectly opaque?

At the frequencies (=energy) of visible light, there is no superconductivity. The band gap due to Cooper pairs is much smaller. Radiation at higher frequencies (energies) breaks Cooper pairs, creatin …
