What is the wavelength of radio waves transmitted by a radio station with a frequency of 100 million cycles per second?
Illustrate that the size of details of an object that can be detected with electromagnetic waves is related to their wavelength, by comparing details observable with two different types (for example, radar and visible light).
A radio station broadcasts its radio waves with a power of 50,000 W. What would be the intensity of this signal if it is received on a planet orbiting Proxima Centuri, the closest star to our Sun, at 4.243 ly away?
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

Assume (unrealistically) that a TV station acts as a point source broadcasting isotropically at 1.0 MW.What is the intensity of the transmitted signal reaching Proxima Centauri, the star nearest our solar system, 4.3 ly away? (An alien civilization at that distance might be able to watch X Files.) A light-year (ly) is the distance light travels in one year.
Infrared (IR) light waves are preferable to Bluetooth for usage in a home remote control because of their longer range. Give reasons and evidence that support your position that are compelling.
A certain radar installation tracks airplanes by transmitting electromagnetic radiation of wavelength 3 cm. (a) Show that the frequency of this radiation is 10 GHz. (b) Show that the time required for a pulse of radar waves to reach an airplane 5 km away and return is 3.3 × 10−5
If a galaxy moving away from the Earth has a speed of 1000 km/s and emits 656 nm light characteristic of hydrogen (the most common element in the universe). What type of electromagnetic radiation is this?
What EM waves are the most dangerous and why?
An electromagnetic wvae is: 1.all light that is not visible to the human eye. 2.a two-dimensional wave that does not need a medium to travel. 3.a vit of radiation that coul causer health problems. 4.a sonar wave that travels at about the speed of light.
Would electromagnetic waves exist if changing magnetic fields could produce electric fields, bur changing electric fields could not, in turn, produce magnetic fields? Explain.
