Textbook Question
Chapter 29.8, Problem 29.6GI
Lasers 1 and 2 emit light of the same color, and the electric field in the beam from laser 1 is twice as strong as the field in laser 2’s beam. How do their (1) magnetic fields, (2) intensities, and (3) wavelengths compare?

Why go through the expense of building an electron microscope for studying very small objects such as organic molecules? Why not just use extremely short electromagnetic waves, which are much cheaper to generate?
E10q2 please help me answer this question:
A limitation on how many spectra per second can be recorded by a time-of-flight mass spectrometer is the time it takes the slowest ion to go from the source to the detector. Suppose we want to scan up to m/z 500 for ions with z = 1. Calculate the speed of this heaviest ion if it is accelerated through 5.00 kV in the source. How long would it take to drift 2.00 m through a spectrometer? At what frequency could you record spectra if a new extraction cycle were begun each time the heaviest ion reached the detector? What would be the frequency if you wanted to scan up to m/z 1000?
