A half wavelength dipole is kept in the x-y plane and oriented along $${45^ \circ }$$ from the x-axis. Determine the direction of null in the radiation pattern for $$0 \le \phi \le \pi $$. Here the angle $$\theta \left( {0 \le \theta \le \pi } \right)$$ is measured from the z-axis, and the angle $$\phi \left( {0 \le \phi \le 2\pi } \right)$$ is measured from the x-axis in the x-y plane.

Consider a wireless communication link between a transmitter and a receiver located in free space, with finite and strictly positive capacity. If the effective areas of the transmitter and the receiver antennas, and the distance between them are all doubled, and everything else remains unchanged, the maximum capacity of the wireless link

An optical fiber is kept along the$$\widehat Z$$ direction. The refractive indices for the electric fields along $$\widehat X$$ and $$\widehat Y$$ directions in the fiber are $${n_x} = 1.5000$$ and $${n_y} = 1.5001$$, respectively ($${n_x} \ne {n_y}$$ due to the imperfection in the fiber cross-section). The free space wavelength of a light wave propagating in the fiber is $$1.5\,\,\,\mu m$$. If the light wave is circularly polarized at the input of the fiber, the minimum propagation distance after which it becomes linearly polarized, in centimeters, is _______ .
