16. Review. Model the electromagnetic wave in a microwave oven as a plane traveling wave moving to the left, with an intensity of 25.0 kW/m². An oven contains two cubical con. tainers of small mass, each full of water. One has an edge length of 6.00 cm, and the other, 12.0 cm. Energy falls perpendicularly on one face of each container. The water in the smaller container absorbs 70.0% of the energy that falls on it. The water in the larger container absorbs 91.0%. That is, the fraction 0.300 of the incoming microwave energy passes through a 6.00-cm thickness of water, and the fraction (0.300)(0.300) = 0.090 passes through a 12.0-cm thickness. Assume a negligible amount of energy leaves either container by heat. Find the temperature change of the water in each container over a time interval of 480 s. %3D
The average intensity of sunlight reaching the earth is 1390 W/m2. A charge of 2.6 x 10-6 C is placed in the path of this electromagnetic wave.

(b) If the charge is moving at a speed of 3.1 x 104 m/s, what is the magnitude of the maximum magnetic force that the charge could experience?
There is a vector defined by John Henry Poynting in 1884 whose direction gives the direction that an electromagnetic wave transmits its field energy and whose magnitude is the rate at which energy is being transmitted per square meter of the wavefront. For mutually perpendicular E- and B-fields in the wave, the magnitude of the Poynting vector is S =EB/mu0 and the direction is given by a right-hand rule, curling fingers from E vector and B vector. a) Carefully analyze the units of the Poynting vector and show that they are indeed watts per square meter. b) Find the intensity of the light in a beam of light whose electric field strength is 360 N/C and whose magnetic field is 1.2 muT.

Because the speed of light in vacuum (or air) has such a large value, it is very difficult to measure directly. To measure this speed, you conduct an experiment in which you measure the amplitude of the electric field in a laser beam as you change the intensity of the beam. Figure is a graph of the intensity I that you measured versus the square of the amplitude Emax of the electric field. The bestfit straight line for your data has a slope of 1.33 x 10-3 J/(V2 . s). (a) Explain why the data points plotted this way lie close to a straight line. (b) Use this graph to calculate the speed of light in air.
