Electromagnetic Waves

Electromagnetic waves are waves that consist of magnetic field and electric field components perpendicular to each other. These field components are also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

The following represents an electromagnetic wave traveling in the direction of the positive y-axis: Ex=0;E0cos(kxt);Ez=0Bx=0;By=0;Bz=B0cos(kxt) The wave is passing through a wide tube of circular cross- section of radius R whose axis is along they-axis.

Operation of the pulse oximeter (see previous problem). The transmission of light energy as it passes through a solution of light-absorbing molecules is described by the Beer-Lambert law I=I010CLorlog10(II0)=CL which gives the decrease in intensity I in terms of the distance L the light has traveled through a fluid with a concentration C of the light-absorbing molecule. The quantity is called the extinction coefficient, and its value depends on the frequency of the light. (It has units of m2/mol.) Assume the extinction coefficient for 660-nm light passing through a solution of oxygenated hemoglobin is identical to the coefficient for 940-nm light passing through deoxygenated hemoglobin. Also assume 940-nm light has zero absorption ( = 0) in oxygenated hemoglobin and 660-nm light has zero absorption in deoxygenated hemoglobin. If 33% of the energy of the red source and 76% of the infrared energy is transmitted through the blood, what is the fraction of hemoglobin that is oxygenated?
