Misprints in the Second Edition

Last updated Sept 27, 2003

Page 72, problem 20: "Assume a propagation speed of 2.4×108 meters/sec". That makes no sense whatever. We are transmitting through empty space (vacuum) for most of the trip, where we know the speed of electromagnetic radiation is the speed of light iv vacuum! The figure should 3.0×108 meters/sec.

Page 155, line 3: "FileName" should be "fileName".

Page 207, line 1: "receiver" should be "sender".

Page 283, problem 4: The reference to Fig. 3.12 should be to Fig. 3.11 instead.
