One recent study has shown that x rays with a wavelength of 0.0050 nm can produce mutations in human cells.a. Calculate the energy in eV of a photon of radiation with this wavelength.b. Assuming that the bond energy holding together a water molecule is typical, use the given table to estimate how many molecular bonds could be broken with this energy.
A microwave oven produces electromagnetic radiation in the radio portion of the spectrum. These microwave photons are absorbed by water molecules, resulting in an increase in the molecules’ rotational energies. This added energy is transferred by heat to the surrounding food, which as a result becomes hot very quickly. If the energy absorbed by a water molecule is 1.0 × 10-5 eV, what is the corresponding wavelength of the microwave photons?
a. 1.22 GHz
b. 2.45 GHz
c. 4.90 GHz
