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.)

3, Determine the Rydberg constant from the data. Since for n1 = 2: tad**) Equation 1 릇=-R-G)- Equation 2 4 which is of the form y - mx+ b That is, Equation 2 is of the form of a straight line, hence the Rydberg constant is the negative of the slope. Plot y 1/0 vs. x 1/ni on the graph paper provided, then determine the slope m =-R," Be sure to label the axes of the graph. As a check, compare this value of RH with the y-intercept, which should equal R,(4. To make it easy, set up a table (next page) for the data.
