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
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

- Magnetic field intensity of a propagating wave in free space is given by H =0.3 cos(4*108t+ 2y) ax V/m the plot of H versus y at time, t = T/8arrow_forwarda sonometer wire of length 90 cm fixed horizontally is under a constant tension. where should a bridge be placed below the wire so that the two segments can emit nodes where frequency are in the ratio 2:1arrow_forwardTwo ships are moving along a line due east (Fig. P14.68). The trailing vessel has a speed relative to a landbased observation point of v 1 = 64.0 km/h, and the leading ship has a speed of v2 = 45.0 km/h relative to that point. The two ships are in a region of the ocean where the current is moving uniformly due west at v current = 10.0 km/h. The trailing ship transmits a sonar signal at a frequency of 1 200.0 Hz through the water. What frequency is monitored by the leading ship?arrow_forward

If such a laser beam is projected onto a circular spot 2.00 mm in diameter, what is its intensity? answer choices a)318.3 W/m^2 b)224.3 W/m^2 c)159.2 W/m^2 d)79.6 W/m^2arrow_forwardGiven wave y = (10 V/m)sin[(5π*106)x−(1.5π*1015)t], calculate for a.) frequency b.) maximum amplitude c.) speed d.) wavelengtharrow_forwardThe initials “AM” stand for amplitude modulation. Instead of fluctuating frequencies as above, they instead vary the amplitude, such that y= A(t)sin[2pif]t. Notice that the frequency is now fixed, but the amplitude will be inconsistent. Each AM station is assigned a frequency in kHz (1000 waves/second.) For example, 760AM is assigned a frequency of f=760kHz. a. What is the wavelength of the 760AM radio waves? b. Suppose a station has equation y=A(t)sin(1,850,000pit). What is this station?c. Sketch a graph of y=2^tsin(t) and explain graphically what the amplitude is doing.arrow_forward

- An isotropic point source emits light at wavelength 550 nm, at the rate of 230 W. A light detector is positioned 430 m from the source. What is the maximum rate dB/dt at which the magnetic component of the light changes with time at the detector's location?

The trailing vessel has a speed relative to a land-based observation point of v1 = 64.0 km/h, and the leading ship has a speed of v2 = 45.0 km/h relative to that point. The two ships are in a region of the ocean where the current is moving uniformly due west at vcurrent = 10.0 km/h.
