question 42

Multiple Choice

A microwave oven operates with sinusoidal microwaves at a frequency of 2400 MHz.The height of the oven cavity is 25 cm and the base measures 30 cm by 30 cm.Assume that microwave energy is generated uniformly on the upper surface of the cavity and propagates directly downward toward the base.The base is lined with a material that completely absorbs microwave energy.The total microwave energy content of the cavity is 0.50 µJ.What is the power output of the oven? (c = 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s, ,

• A) 0.50 kW
• B) 0.55 kW
• C) 0.60 kW
• D) 0.65 kW
• E) 0.70 kW

Definitions:

Permeable Sandstone

Permeable sandstone is a type of sandstone that allows fluids to pass through it, due to the presence of interconnected pore spaces within the rock.

Impermeable Shale

A sedimentary rock composed of clay minerals that has low permeability, inhibiting the flow of fluids through it.

Truncated Oil-bearing

Refers to oil reservoirs that have been cut off or shortened, often by geological processes such as erosion or faulting.

Anticline

A type of geological fold characterized by an arch-like shape where the oldest rocks are at the core.
