Get started for freeThe direction of the electric field shown in each part of the Figure 24.5is that produced by the charge distribution in the wire. Justify the direction shown in each part, using the Coulomb force law and the definition of E=F/q, where qis a positive test charge.
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.
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?
Assume the helium-neon lasers commonly used in student physics laboratories have power outputs of 0.250mW. (a) If such a laser beam is projected onto a circular spot 1.00mm in diameter, what is its intensity? (b) Find the peak magnetic field strength. (c) Find the peak electric field strength.
(a) What is the wavelength of 100 MHz radio waves used in an MRI unit? (b) If the frequencies are swept over a range centered on 100MHz , what is the range of wavelengths broadcast?
