Get started for freeUnder what conditions might wires in a DC circuit emit electromagnetic waves?
(a) Two microwave frequencies are authorized for use in microwave ovens: 900 and 2560 MHz. Calculate the wavelength of each. (b) Which frequency would produce smaller hot spots in foods due to interference effects?
The rate at which information can be transmitted on an electromagnetic wave is proportional CZ the frequency of the wave. Is this consistent with the fact that laser telephone transmission at visible frequencies carries far more conversations per optical fiber than conventional electronic transmission in a wire? What is the implication for ELF radio communication with submarines?
(a) What is the wavelength ofradio waves used in an MRI unit? (b) If the frequencies are swept over arange centered on, what is the range of wavelengths broadcast?
Laser vision correction often uses an excimer laser that produces electromagnetic radiation. This wavelength is extremely strongly absorbed by the cornea and ablates it in a manner that reshapes the cornea to correct vision defects. Explain how the strong absorption helps concentrate the energy in a thin layer and thus give greater accuracy in shaping the cornea. Also, explain how this strong absorption limits damage to the lens and retina of the eye.
