Give an example of energy carried by an electromagnetic wave.
(a) Calculate the range of wavelengths for AM radio given its frequency range is \(540\) to \(1600{\rm{ }}kHz\). (b) Do the same for the FM frequency range of \(88.0\) to \(108{\rm{ }}MHz\).
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.
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).
