Electromagnetic Waves

Electromagnetic waves are waves that consist of magnetic field and electric field components perpendicular to each other. These field components are also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

Question

In general, X-rays have wavelengths between 10 nm and 0.01 nm. For an X-ray with a wavelength of 1 nm, what is the corresponding frequency? The speed of light is 3 × 10⁸ m/s.

The frequency of the X-ray is _____ × 10¹⁶ Hz

Definition Definition Rate at which light travels, measured in a vacuum. The speed of light is a universal physical constant used in many areas of physics, most commonly denoted by the letter c . The value of the speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s, but for most of the calculations, the value of the speed of light is approximated as c = 3 x 10 8 m/s.

Scientists are working on a new technique to kill cancer cells by zapping them with ultrahigh-energy (in the range of 1.00×1012 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 5.00 μm in diameter, with the pulse lasting for 4.00 ns with an average power of 2.00×1012 W. We shall assume that the energy is spread uniformly over the faces of 100 cells for each pulse.
