Assume the radiation from a heat lamp is monochromatic, with a wavelength of 1.5 μm . I =3.313 kW/m^2.
a. What is the peak electric field strength, in kilovolts per meter?
b. Find the peak magnetic field strength, in microtesla.
c. How long, in seconds, will it take to increase the temperature of the 3.95-kg shoulder by 2.00°C, assuming that the shoulder absorbs all the radiation from the lamp and given that its specific heat is 3.47 × 103 J/(kg⋅°C)?
The photon energies used in different types of medical x-ray imaging vary widely, depending upon the application. Single dental x rays use photons with energies of about 25 keV. The photon energy used for x-ray microtomography, a process that allows repeated imaging in single planes at varying depths within the sample, is 2.5 times greater. What are the wavelengths of the x rays used for these two purposes?
32. When you use Maxwell's equations to determine electric
and magnetic fields, a lot depends on making the “right"
choice for the integration path. What happens if you choose
the "wrong" path? Do the equations still hold? Consider a
parallel-plate capacitor with circular plates, but use a rectan-
gular integration path that has two sides parallel to the plates
and two sides perpendicular to them, as in Figure P30.32.

- A uniform circular disk of mass m = 24.0 g and radius r = 40.0 cm hangs vertically from a fixed, frictionless, horizontal hinge at a point on its circumference as shown in Figure P34.39a. A beam of electromagnetic radiation with intensity 10.0 MW/m2 is incident on the disk, in a direction perpendicular to its surface. The disk is perfectly absorbing, and the resulting radiation pressure makes the disk rotate. Assuming the radiation is always perpendicular to the surface of the disk, find the angle through which the disk rotates from the vertical as it reaches its new equilibrium position shown in Figure 34.39b.

- Interplanetary space contains many small particles referred to as interplanetary dust. Radiation pressure from the sun sets a lower limit on the size of such dust particles. To see the origin of this limit, consider a spherical dust particle of radius R and mass density r.
