A certain star is 15.6 million light-years from Earth. The intensity of the light that reaches Earth from the star is 2.90 × 10−21 W/m2. At what rate does the star radiate EM energy?
A large container which has 258 g of water initially at 23 °C is placed in a microwave oven. The magnetron in the microwave oven can produce 950 W of EM radiation. The microwave is turned on for 2.5 minutes.
Assuming that all the microwave energy is absorbed by the water, how much water is left in the container?
2. The OXO 8716900 electric kettle (1500 W) manufacturer’s claim that it can boil up to 1.75 L of water faster than the microwave, safer than the stovetop, and runs off a mains voltage of 120 V. Compare the efficiency of the two approaches.
3.Name the different ways of heat loss in these systems (Microwave & Kettle) during the heating process.
High-Energy Cancer Treatment. Scientists are working on a new technique to kill cancer cells by zapping them with ultrahighenergy (in the range of 1012 W) pulses of light that last for an extremely short time (a few nanoseconds). These short pulses scramble the interior of a cell without causing it to explode, as long pulses would do. We can model a typical such cell as a disk 5.0 um in diameter, with the pulse lasting for 4.0 ns with an average power of 2.0 * 1012 W. We shall assume that the energy is spread uniformly over the faces of 100 cells for each pulse. (a) How much energy is given to the cell during this pulse? (b) What is the intensity (in W/m2) delivered to the cell? (c) What are the maximum values of the electric and magnetic fields in the pulse?
