Police radar determines the speed of motor vehicles using the same Doppler-shift technique employed for ultrasound in medical diagnostics. Beats are produced by mixing the double Doppler-shifted echo with the original frequency. If microwaves are used and a beat frequency of is produced, what is the speed of the vehicle? (Assume the same Doppler-shift formulas are valid with the speed of sound replaced by the speed of light.)
Find the intensity of an electromagnetic wave having a peak magnetic field strength of .
Explain why people who have the lens of their eye removed because of cataracts are able to see low-frequency ultraviolet.
(a) What is the wavelength of 100 MHz radio waves used in an MRI unit? (b) If the frequencies are swept over a range centered on 100MHz , what is the range of wavelengths broadcast?
What is the maximum electric field strength in an electromagnetic wave that has a maximum magnetic field strength of \(5.00 \times {10^{ - 4}}\;T\) (about \(10\) times the Earth's)?
