- The maximum magnetic field strength of an electromagnetic field is 5106T. Calculate the maximum electric field strength if the wave is traveling in a medium in which the speed of the wave is 0.75c.arrow_forwardCreate Your Own Problem Consider electromagnetic fields produced by high voltage power lines. Construct a problem in which you calculate the intensity of this electromagnetic radiation in W/m2 based on the measured magnetic field strength of the radiation in a home near the power lines. Assume these magnetic field strengths are known to average less than a T. The intensity is small enough that it is difficult to imagine mechanisms for biological damage due to it. Discuss how much energy may be radiating from a section of power line several hundred meters long and compare this to the power likely to he carried by the lines. An idea of how much power this is can be obtained by calculating the approximate current responsible for T fields at distances of tens of meters.arrow_forwardRadio waves normally have their E and B fields in specific directions, whereas visible light usually has its E and B fields in random and rapidly changing directions that are perpendicular to each other and to the propagation direction. Can you explain why?arrow_forward
- Check Your Understanding Could a purely electric field propagate as a wave through a vacuum without a magnetic field? Justify your answer.arrow_forwardPolice radar guns measure the speed of moving vehicles by transmitting electromagnetic waves at a vehicle and detecting a Doppler shift in the reflected wave. Suppose police radar transmit at a frequency of 24.0 GHz and receives a wave reflected from a car moving toward the radar at 65.0 mph. Find the frequency shift f = f0 fs between the observed (received) and source (transmitted) frequencies.arrow_forwardSuppose the maximum safe intensity of microwaves for human exposure is taken to be 1.00 W/m2. (a) If a radar unit leaks 10.0 W of microwaves (other than those sent by its antenna) uniformly in all directions, how far away must you be to be exposed to an intensity considered to be safe? Assume that the power spreads uniformly over the area of a sphere with no complications from absorption or reflection. (b) What is the maximum electric field strength at the safe intensity? (Note that early radar units leaked more than modern ones do. This caused identi?able health problems, such as cataracts, for people who worked near them.)arrow_forward
