Answer to Problem 63P

The frequency of EM wave with wavelength as the size of the thickness of a piece of paper is 5.0×1012Hz

Explanation of Solution

Write an expression for the frequency of EM wave with wavelength as the size of the thickness of a piece of paper.

  f=cλ                                                                                                                      (I)

Here, f is the frequency, c is the speed of light and λ is the wavelength.

Conclusion:

Substitute 3.0×108m/s for c and 60μm for λ in equation (I) to find f.

    f=3.0×108m/s(60μm)(1m106μm)=3.0×108m/s60×106m=5.0×1012Hz

Thus, the frequency of EM wave with wavelength as size of the thickness of a piece of paper is 5.0×1012Hz

(b)

Answer to Problem 63P

The frequency of EM wave with wavelength as the size of the length of a soccer field is 3.3×106Hz

Explanation of Solution

Write an expression for the frequency of EM wave with wavelength as the size of the length of a soccer field.

  f=cλ                                                                                                                     (II)

Conclusion:

Substitute 3.0×108m/s for c and 91m for λ in equation (II) to find f.

    f=3.0×108m/s91m=3.3×106Hz

Thus, the frequency of EM wave with wavelength the size of as the length of a soccer field is 3.3×106Hz.

(c)

To determine

The frequency of EM wave with wavelength as the size of diameter of Earth.

Answer to Problem 63P

The frequency of EM wave with wavelength as the size of diameter of Earth is 23.5Hz

Explanation of Solution

Write an expression for the frequency of EM wave with wavelength as the size of diameter of Earth.

  f=cλ                                                                                                                     (III)

Conclusion:

Substitute 3.0×108m/s for c and 2(6.371×106m) for λ in equation (III) to find f.

    f=3.0×108m/s2(6.371×106m)=3.0×108m/s12.742×106m=23.5Hz

Thus, the frequency of EM wave with wavelength as the size of diameter of Earth is 23.5Hz

(d)

To determine

The frequency of EM wave with wavelength the size of the distance from Earth to Sun.

(d)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 63P

The frequency of EM wave with wavelength the size of the distance from Earth to Sun is 2.00×103Hz

Explanation of Solution

Write an expression for the frequency of EM wave with wavelength the size of the thickness of distance from Earth to Sun.

  f=cλ                                                                                                                    (IV)

Conclusion:

Substitute 3.0×108m/s for c and 1.50×1011m for λ in equation (IV) to find f.

    f=3.0×108m/s1.50×1011m=2.00×103Hz

Thus, the frequency of EM wave with wavelength the size of the distance from Earth to Sun is 2.00×103Hz
