Studies of Dielectric Constant, Dielectric Loss, Loss Tangent and Dielectric Relaxation Time of Some Halobenzene and Nitrobenzene at X-Band Microwave Frequency

The arrangement of waves or radiation in order of increasing frequencies is called electromagnetic spectrum. Frequency of microwave region is 300MHz to 300GHz. Corresponding wavelength is in between 1mm to 100cm. Here by using a microwave bench dielectric properties such as dielectric constant, dielectric loss, loss tangent and dielectric relaxationtime of Dichlorobenzene, Bromobenzene and Nitrobenzene in different temperatures at X band frequrency are measured. Gopalakrishnan method is used for determination of relaxation time. Here real (€ / ) and imaginary (€")parts of complex dielectric constant( €*) were determined in the 3cm microwave region for different concentration of Dichlorobenzene, Bromobenzene and Nitrobenzene in Cyclohaxene at temperatures 24 0 C, 33 0 C and 41 0 C .The measurement were made at a frequency of 9.98GHz. From the study of relaxation time polarity of above three compounds are studied. From the structural point of view the most interesting Dielectric Relaxation is that involving orientation polarization which depends on the internal structure of molecules and on the molecular arrangement or structure of the dielectric. Dielectric relaxation is the lag in dipole orientation behind an alternating electric field. From the study it is found that relaxation time of these solute is more in Cyclohexane then in Benzene. This behavour can be explained from the fact that Cyclohexane has more internal friction than Benzene.
