Tutorial 10 Haibo With Solution Skin Depth
Problem Consider an incident wave of 1MHz propagating in the see water with σ=4S/m, and ε r’=81.
Find the skin depth, wavelength, and phase velocity.
Solution We first evaluate the loss tangent, using the given data:

8.9 102 1
' 2 106 81 8.85 1012
Seawater is therefore a good conductor at 1MHz or frequencies lower than this.
