### Electromagnetic Radiation Problems 1. **Sodium Vapor Lamp Frequency** - The yellow light emitted by a sodium vapor lamp, used for public lighting, has a wavelength of 589 nm. What is the frequency of this radiation? 2. **FM Radio Wavelength Calculation** - An FM radio station broadcasts electromagnetic radiation at a frequency of 103.4 MHz (megahertz; 1 MHz = 10⁶ s⁻¹). Calculate the wavelength of this radiation. The speed of light is 2.998 × 10⁸ m/s to four significant figures. 3. **Laser Radiation Energy Calculation** - A laser used in orthopedic spine surgery produces radiation with a wavelength of 2.10 μm. Calculate the energy of this radiation.
