In which pan of the electromagnetic spectrum are each of these waves: (a) f=10.0kHz , (b) f==750nm , (C) f=1.25108Hz , (d) 0.30 nm
A microwave oven uses electromagnetic waves of frequency f=2.45109 to heat foods. The waves reflect from the inside walls of the oven to produce an interference pattern of standing waves whose antinodes are hot spots that can leave observable pit marks in some foods. The pit marks are measured to be 6.0 cm apart. Use the method employed by Heinrich Hertz to calculate the speed of electromagnetic waves this implies.
Review. A microwave oven is powered by a magnetron, an electronic device that generates electromagnetic waves of frequence 2.45 GHz. The microwaves enter the oven and arc reflected by the walls. The standing-wave pattern produced in the oven can cook food unevenly, with hot spots in the food at antinodes and cool spots at nodes, so a turntable is often used to rotate the food and distribute the energy. If a microwave oven intended for use with a turntable is instead used with a cooking dish in a fixed position, the antinodes can appear as burn marks on foods such as carrot strips or cheese. The separation distance between the burns is measured to be 6 cm 5%. From these data, calculate the speed of the microwaves.
