Question 98 [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER] |
Consider the following statements about Emdrive which was recently validated by NASA: 1.) It is a reactionless spacecraft drive proposed by Roger Shawyer in 1999 2.) It provides thrust to a spacecraft by bouncing microwaves around in a closed container. 3.) Solar energy provides the electricity to power the microwaves, which means that no propellant is needed. Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?
1 AND 3 | |
2 AND 3 | |
1,2 AND 3 | |
None of the above statement is correct |
Question 98 Explanation:
All the Statement above is correct
- The theory goes that the thruster on the proposed EmDrive, shaped like a cone, can produce momentum by bouncing around electromagnetic waves in its interior. As these waves hit the larger end of the cone, the photons produce a tiny, tiny force that causes the small end to accelerate in the opposite direction.
- In particular, electricity is converted into microwaves, and the microwave photons are fired into the metal cone cavity. It is called EmDrive because it uses electromagnetic propulsion to drive it.
- No propellant is used in the conversion process. Thrust is produced by the amplification of the radiation pressure of an electromagnetic wave propagated through a resonant waveguide assembly
