clc //Given that mu_0 = 4*%pi*1e-7 // permeability of free space mu = mu_0 //permeability of silver sigma = 5.8e7 // conductivity in simens /m delta = 0.1 // Skin depth penetration in mm printf("Example 7.8") f = 2/((delta*1e-3)^2*sigma*mu*2*%pi) // Calculation of skin depth penetration printf("\n Required frequency is %.2e Hz",f) printf("\n The incident electromagnetic wave is the radio part of spectrum.") // Answer in book is 3.36e5 Hz. Difference is due to approximation at intermediate stages
