Question 3: Properties of light (30 points) The energy of one photon of the microwaves in home microwave ovens is 2.45 x 10-23 J. (c=av, E = hv, h = 6.626 x 10-34 J·s, c = 3.00 x 108 m/s) (a) What is the wavelength of this microwave photon? (b) Is this radiation more or less energetic than radio wave with frequency of 1.98 x 100 Hz? Use the energy calculations to support your answer. (c) Does this radiation have...
Questions [1] One difference between mechanical waves and EM waves is: only one needs a source, only one needs a medium to disturb. (2) If a color of visible light had a frequency of 621 THz, then the color is: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet. [3] Different types of EM waves are categorized by their: amplitude, energy, frequency, wave speed in a vacuum. [4] The prefix infra- means: lower than , higher than, about the same. [5] Any piece...

(a) What is the physical difference between X- rays, y -rays, light and radio waves? How do they interact with tissue (in the absence of a magnetic field)? (b) Draw the X-ray tube spectrum, i.e., the intensity distribution of X-rays as a function of the frequency of emitted X-ray photons (1) at the exit of the X-ray tube before any filtering takes place, and (2) after the filter but before the X-rays have reached the patient. (c) How does the...
