Radio waves normally have their E and B fields in specific directions, whereas visible light usually has its E and B fields in random and rapidly changing directions that are perpendicular to each other and to the propagation direction. Can you explain why?

Check Your Understanding When the emf across a capacitor Is turned on and the capacitor Is allowed to charge, when does the magnetic field Induced by the displacement current have the greatest magnitude?
Create Your Own Problem Consider electromagnetic fields produced by high voltage power lines. Construct a problem in which you calculate the intensity of this electromagnetic radiation in W/m2 based on the measured magnetic field strength of the radiation in a home near the power lines. Assume these magnetic field strengths are known to average less than a T. The intensity is small enough that it is difficult to imagine mechanisms for biological damage due to it. Discuss how much energy may be radiating from a section of power line several hundred meters long and compare this to the power likely to he carried by the lines. An idea of how much power this is can be obtained by calculating the approximate current responsible for T fields at distances of tens of meters.
Suppose the maximum safe intensity of microwaves for human exposure is taken to be 1.00 W/m2. (a) If a radar unit leaks 10.0 W of microwaves (other than those sent by its antenna) uniformly in all directions, how far away must you be to be exposed to an intensity considered to be safe? Assume that the power spreads uniformly over the area of a sphere with no complications from absorption or reflection. (b) What is the maximum electric field strength at the safe intensity? (Note that early radar units leaked more than modern ones do. This caused identi?able health problems, such as cataracts, for people who worked near them.)
Check Your Understanding What conclusions did our analysis of Maxwell's equations lead to about these properties of a plane electromagnetic wave: (a) the relative directions of wave propagation, of the E field, and of B field, (b) the speed of travel of the wave and how the speed depends on frequency, and (c) the relative magnitudes of the E and B fields.

Your answer should be in terms of S, R, , and other constants.
