Get started for freeA certain 50.0-Hz AC power line radiates an electromagnetic wave having a maximum electric field strength of 13.0 kV/m. (a) What is the wavelength of this very low frequency electromagnetic wave? (b) What is its maximum magnetic field strength?
A 2.50-m -diameter university communications satellite dish receives TV signals that have a maximum electric field strength (for one channel) of . (See Figure24.28.) (a) What is the intensity of this wave? (b) What is the power received by the antenna? (c) If the orbiting satellite broadcasts uniformly over an area of (a large fraction of North America), how much power does it radiate?
In which situation shown in Figure\({\rm{24}}{\rm{.24}}\)will the electromagnetic wave be more successful in inducing a current in the wire? Explain.
Some radar systems detect the size and shape of objects such as aircraft and geological terrain. Approximately what is the smallest observable detail utilizing\(500{\rm{ }}MHz\)radar?
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.
