Show that for a continuous sinusoidal electromagnetic wave, the peak intensity is twice the average intensity , using either the fact that , where rms means average (actually root mean square, a type of average).
Combing your hair leads to excess electrons on the comb. How fast would you have to move the comb up and down to produce red light?
An AM radio transmitter broadcasts 50.0 kw of power uniformly in all directions. (a) Assuming all of the radio waves that strike the ground are completely absorbed, and that there is no absorption by the atmosphere or other objects, what is the intensity 30.0 km away? (Hint: Half the power will be spread over the area of a hemisphere.) (b) What is the maximum electric field strength at this distance?
Police radar determines the speed of motor vehicles using the same Doppler-shift technique employed for ultrasound in medical diagnostics. Beats are produced by mixing the double Doppler-shifted echo with the original frequency. If microwaves are used and a beat frequency of is produced, what is the speed of the vehicle? (Assume the same Doppler-shift formulas are valid with the speed of sound replaced by the speed of light.)
