Project Seafarer was an ambitious program to construct an enormous antenna, buried underground on a site about 10 000 km2 in area. Its purpose was to transmit signals to submarines while they were deeply submerged. If the effective wavelength were 1.0 * 10^4 Earth radii, what would be the (a) frequency and (b) period of the radiations emitted? Ordinarily, electromagnetic radiations do not penetrate very far into conductors such as seawater, and so normal signals cannot reach the submarines.
Problem 7: If you wish to observe features that are around the size of atoms, say 8.5 × 10-10 m, with electromagnetic radiation, the radiation must have a wavelength of about the size of the atom itself.
Part (a) If you had a microscope which was capable of doing this, what would the frequency of electromagnetic radiation be, in hertz, that you would have to use?
Part (b) What type of electromagnetic radiation would this be?
Infrared Gamma rays None of these UltravioletX-Rays
