- Explain why light is referred to as electromagnetic radiation.arrow_forwardExplain the difference between radiation as it is used in most everyday language and radiation as it is used in an astronomical context.arrow_forwardThe filament in a clear incandescent light bulb radiates visible light at a power of 5.00 W. Model the glass part of the bulb as a sphere of radius r0=3.00cm and calculate the amount of electromagnetic energy from visible light inside the bulb.arrow_forward
- If you wish to detect details of the size of atoms (about 11010m ) with electromagnetic radiation, it must have a wavelength of about this size. (a) What is its frequency? (b) What type of electromagnetic radiation might this be?arrow_forwardElectromagnetic radiation having a 15.0m wavelength is classified as infrared radiation. What is its frequency?arrow_forwardDiscuss the possibility that a Hall voltage would be generated on the moving heart of a patient during MRI imaging. Also discuss the same effect on the wires of a pacemaker. (The fact that patients with pacemakers are not given MRIs is significant)arrow_forward
