🔑:## Step 1: Understand the given field vectorsThe problem provides us with the electric field vector vec{E} for monochromatic fields in a waveguide, specifically for optical TE or TM modes. The electric field is given by vec{E}left( {vec r,t} right) = vec{E}left( {vec r} right)exp left( { - iomega t} right) = Eleft( x right)hat{y}exp left{ {ileft( {beta z - omega t} right)} right}, where E(x) is the amplitude of the electric field in the y-direction, varying with x, beta is the propagation constant, omega is the angular frequency, and hat{y} is the unit vector in the y-direction.## Step 2: Identify the magnetic field vector vec{H}For TE (Transverse Electric) modes in a waveguide, the magnetic field vec{H} can be found using Maxwell's equations. Specifically, for a wave propagating in the z-direction, the magnetic field will have components in the x and z directions for TE modes, but since vec{E} is given as E(x)hat{y}, we can infer that vec{H} will have components that allow it to be orthogonal to vec{E} and the direction of propagation hat{z}. For TM (Transverse Magnetic) modes, the situation is similar but with the roles of vec{E} and vec{H} reversed in terms of their transverse components.## Step 3: Determine the Poynting vector vec{S}The Poynting vector vec{S} represents the direction and magnitude of the energy flow in the electromagnetic field. It is given by vec{S} = frac{1}{2}text{Re}(vec{E} times vec{H}^*), where vec{H}^* is the complex conjugate of the magnetic field. For the given vec{E}, vec{S} will be in the z-direction for propagation along the waveguide, indicating the direction of energy flow.## Step 4: Assess orthogonalityGiven that vec{E} is in the y-direction, and considering the nature of waveguide modes where vec{H} must be orthogonal to vec{E} and the direction of propagation (to satisfy Maxwell's equations and the definition of TE or TM modes), vec{H} will have components in the x and z directions for TE modes or in the x and y directions for TM modes but in a manner that ensures orthogonality with vec{E}. The Poynting vector vec{S}, representing the energy flow, is orthogonal to both vec{E} and vec{H} by its definition as a cross product.## Step 5: Conclusion on orthogonalityGiven the definitions and properties of vec{E}, vec{H}, and vec{S}, and considering the constraints of Maxwell's equations and the nature of TE and TM modes in a waveguide, it can be concluded that vec{E}, vec{H}, and vec{S} are indeed orthogonal to each other. This orthogonality is a fundamental property of electromagnetic waves and is essential for understanding the behavior of light in waveguides and other optical systems.The final answer is: boxed{Yes}

🔑:## Step 1: Understanding the concepts of displacement, velocity, and accelerationDisplacement refers to the change in position of an object, velocity is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time, and acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.## Step 2: Analyzing Dave's motion at the moment he turns aroundWhen Dave turns around, his direction of motion changes. This means that his velocity, which is a vector quantity and has both magnitude and direction, changes instantaneously.## Step 3: Determining velocity at the moment of turning aroundAt the exact moment Dave turns around, his velocity is zero because he is changing direction. This is analogous to throwing a ball straight up; at the peak of its trajectory, the ball's velocity is momentarily zero before it starts moving downward.## Step 4: Determining acceleration at the moment of turning aroundAcceleration is the rate of change of velocity. When Dave turns around, his velocity changes from a certain value in one direction to the same value in the opposite direction instantaneously. This implies an infinite acceleration at the moment of turning, but in practical terms, the acceleration is very high because the change in velocity happens over a very short time period.## Step 5: Applying the concepts to Dave's situationGiven that velocity is a vector and changes direction when Dave turns around, and considering that acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, we can conclude that at the exact moment Dave turns around, his velocity is zero, and his acceleration is directed towards the new direction of motion but is theoretically infinite due to the instantaneous change in velocity direction.The final answer is: boxed{0}

🔑:## Step 1: Understanding the Photoelectric EffectThe photoelectric effect is a phenomenon where light hitting a metal surface can cause electrons to be emitted from the surface. The energy of the emitted electrons depends on the energy of the incident photons.## Step 2: Key Principles and EquationsThe key principle in the photoelectric effect is that the energy of the incident photon (E = hf, where h is Planck's constant and f is the frequency of the light) is used to overcome the work function (φ) of the metal and to provide kinetic energy (KE) to the emitted electron. The equation relating these quantities is given by: KE = hf - φ.## Step 3: Kinetic Energy of the Slowest Emitted PhotoelectronThe slowest emitted photoelectron will have the least kinetic energy. This occurs when the energy of the incident photon is just enough to overcome the work function of the metal, leaving minimal energy for the electron to escape. Therefore, the kinetic energy (KE) of the slowest emitted photoelectron can be found by using the equation KE = hf - φ, where hf is the energy of the incident photon and φ is the work function of the metal.## Step 4: Relationship to Work Function and Photon EnergyThe work function (φ) of a metal is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from the surface of the metal. When the energy of the incident photon (hf) equals the work function (φ), the electron is just able to escape with no kinetic energy. If the photon energy is greater than the work function, the excess energy is converted into the kinetic energy of the emitted electron.## Step 5: Determining the Kinetic EnergyTo find the kinetic energy of the slowest emitted photoelectron, we need to know the energy of the incident photon and the work function of the metal. The kinetic energy is directly proportional to the difference between the photon energy and the work function.The final answer is: boxed{0}
