The index of refraction of water is . At what speed would a wave crest in a beam of light travel through this medium?
A small laser used as a pointer produces a beam of red light in diameter and has a power output of . What is the magnitude of the electric field in the laser beam?
Calculate the wave length for several examples of sinusoidal electromagnetic radiation:
radio,
television,
red light,
blue light,
(Note for comparison that an atomic diameter is about ).
In Figure 23.116 electromagnetic radiation is moving to the right, and at this time and place the electric field is horizontal and points out of the page. The magnitude of the electric field is . What are the magnitude and direction of the associated magnetic field at this time and place?

You have a small but bright computer display that is only 4cm wide by 3cm tall. You will place a lens near the display to project an image of the display about 2.5m tall onto a large screen that is 6m from the lens of the projector. (a) Should you use a converging lens or a diverging lens? (b) Approximately, what should the focal length of the lens be? (c) Suppose that you choose a lens that has the focal length that you calculated in part (b). What exactly should be the distance from the computer display to the lens? (d) In order that the screen display be right side up, should the computer display be inverted or right side up? (e) On another occasion the screen is moved close, so that it is only 4m from the lens. To focus the image, you have to readjust the distance between the computer display and the lens. What is the new exact distance from the computer display to the lens? (f) How tall is the image on the screen, now that the screen is only 6m from the lens?
