A 1000 kHz AM radio station broadcasts with a power of 20 kW. How many photons does the transmitting antenna emit each second?
The photon energies used in different types of medical x-ray imaging vary widely, depending upon the application. Single dental x rays use photons with energies of about 25 keV. The photon energy used for x-ray microtomography, a process that allows repeated imaging in single planes at varying depths within the sample, is 2.5 times greater. What are the wavelengths of the x rays used for these two purposes?
The intensity of electromagnetic radiation from the sun reaching the earth's upper atmosphere is 1.37kW/m2. Assuming an average wavelength of 680 nm for this radiation, find the number of photons per second that strike a 2.00 m2 solar panel directly facing the sun on an orbiting satellite.
