9. A few people in your neighborhood are protesting the erection of a 5G cell tower. They claim
the radio waves from the tower will be damaging to human health, specifically leading to
headaches, migraines, and dizziness. Using what you know about electromagnetic radiation and
how it interacts with matter, which side of the protest would you be on? Why? Consider where
radio waves fall on the electromagnetic spectrum and how you've seen radiation interact with
parts the human body throughout this unit.
(Note: this is something that really happened in Prof. Kerstiens' neighborhood. Also note that
this does not include concerns about 5G power usage, impact on ecosystems, or waste
production in making new cell towers and equipment.)
Why can we use X-rays, but not radio waves or microwaves, to give an image of bones and teeth?
Which of the following types of radiation has the greatest frequency? Microwaves, Ultraviolet, X-rays, radio

In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is this radiation? What is its frequency? (b) A Blu-ray laser has a power of 5 millwatts (1watt=1Js1). How many photons of light are produced by the laser in 1 hour? (c) The ideal resolution of a player using a laser (such as a Blu-ray player), which determines how close together data can be stored on a compact disk, is determined using the following formula: Resolution =0.60(/NA), where A is the wavelength of the laser and NA is the numerical aperture. Numerical aperture is a measure of the size of the spot of light on the disk; the larger the NA, the smaller the spot. In a typical Blu-ray system, NA = 0.95. If the 405-nm laser is used in a Blu-ray player, what is the closest that information can be stored on a Blu-ray disk? (d) The data density of a Blu-ray disk using a 405-nm laser is 1.5107 bits mm2.

If a Blu-ray disk can hold 9,400,000 pages of text, how many data bits are needed for a typed page? (Hint: Determine the area of the disk that is available to hold data.
