Assuming the precision, PP, with which this electromagnetic radiation can shape the cornea is inversely proportional to wavelength (the shorter the wavelength, the higher the precision), how much more precise can this ultraviolet light be than the shortest wavelength of visible light, which is 380 nm? Give your answer in % more precise.

AM radio waves can be produced by a marconi anthenna, whose length must be one-fourth of the wave's wavelength. What must be the length, in meters, of the antenna to produce a frquency of 630kHz?
Project Seafarer was an ambitious program to construct an enormous antenna, buried underground on a site about 10 000 km2 in area. Its purpose was to transmit signals to submarines while they were deeply submerged. If the effective wavelength were 1.0 * 10^4 Earth radii, what would be the (a) frequency and (b) period of the radiations emitted? Ordinarily, electromagnetic radiations do not penetrate very far into conductors such as seawater, and so normal signals cannot reach the submarines.
