DESCRIPTION
If exceeds frequencies of motion for all electrons, we can neglect electron interactions with each other and with nuclei. Then all electrons are regarded as free. Then, there is no difference between conductors and dielectrics.TRANSCRIPT

Permittivity at high frequency
Section 78
![Page 2: Permittivity at high frequency Section 78. At high frequency, polarization processes cannot keep up. P = 0 D = E + 4 P = E How does approach unity](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082419/5a4d1b317f8b9ab05999b30e/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
At high frequency, polarization processes cannot keep up.
P = 0D = E + 4 p P = E
How does e(w) approach unity mathematically?

If w exceeds frequencies of motion for all electrons,we can neglect electron interactions with each other and with nuclei.
Then all electrons are regarded as free.
Then, there is no difference between conductors and dielectrics.

Usually, electron velocities are non-relativistic, v << c.
Then the distance traveled during once EM-wave cycle is
Then, each electron is accelerated in a uniform field
v’ = the additional velocity acquired from the field

Equation of motion
Electron’s displacement caused by the field

Polarization = dipole moment per unit volume
P(r,t) =
N = number of electrons in all the atoms per unit volume

Define the “plasma frequency”
Valid for very high frequencies:Far UV for light elementsX-ray for heavy elements
Then
