For an infinitesimally small dipole in free space, the electric field $E_\theta$ in the far field is proportional to $\frac{e^{-j k r}}{r} \sin \theta$, where $k=\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}$. A vertical infinitesimally small electric dipole ( $\delta l \ll \lambda$ ) is placed at a distance $h(h>0)$ above an infinite ideal conducting plane, as shown in the figure. The minimum value of $h$, for which one of the maxima in the far field radiation pattern occurs at $\theta=60^{\circ}$, is

Consider the recombination process via bulk traps in a forward biased $p n$ homojunction diode. The maximum recombination rate is $U_{\max }$. If the electron and the hole capture cross sections are equal, which one of the following is FALSE?

A

$U_{\max }$ occurs at the edges of the depletion region in the device.

$U_{\max }$ depends exponentially on the applied bias.

C

With all other parameters unchanged, $U_{\max }$ increases if the thermal velocity of carrier increases.

D

With all other parameters unchanged, $U_{\max }$ decreases if the intrinsic carrier density is reduced.
