Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 17EAP
Does It Make Sense?
Decide whether the statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain clearly; not all of these have definitive answers, so your explanation is more important than your chosen answer.
17. The walls of my room are transparent to radio waves.

- it .. Use the following information to answer the next two questions One futuristic scheme to produce power on a large scale proposes placing giant solar panels into Earth's orbit, where energy generated from sunlight would be converted to microwaves and beamed to antennas on Earth for reconversion to electric power. To produce as much power as five large nuclear power plants (5.00×10° W total), several square kilometres of solar panels would have to be assembled in orbit.

- A local radio station broadcasts radio waves at 99.7 MHz. Unlike sound, radio waves can pass into outer space, because they are disturbances not in air molecules but in the e-m fields that exist even in the vacuum of space. It's energy traveling independent of matter. a. When that radio wave hits you, how many pulses (wave crests) of em radiation hit you per minute (60 seconds)? (reminder: M = 10 6) b. Radio waves move at the speed of light (c), how far apart is each wave crest (wavelength)? c. If we boosted the signal strength so that station could be heard on the moon, would either the wavelength or frequency change?arrow_forward3. A radio station transmits radio waves that has a frequency (v) of 89.5 MHz (megahertz). (A) What is the wavelength (2) of these radio waves in units of meters (m)? I Hints: There is a unit conversion involved in the problem for 'megahertz' to Hertz. Which equation from Chapter 5 should we use to solve for the wavelength here? What is the value of the speed of light (c)? Show work for each step. Include units and observe proper sig figs and rounding in your answer. (B) Calculate the energy (Ephoton) of a single photon of these radio waves in units of Joules. Hints: Which equation from Chapter 5 should we use here? What is the value of the Planck's constant (h)?
