Police use radar guns and the Doppler effect to catch speeders. The figure below illustrates a moving car approaching a stationary police car. A radar gun emits an electromagnetic wave that reflects from the oncoming car. The reflected wave returns to the police car with a frequency (measured by on-board equipment) that is different from the emitted frequency. One such radar gun emits a wave whose frequency is 8.0 x 10° Hz. When the speed of the car is 21.0 m/s and the approach is essentially head-on, what is the difference between the frequency of the wave returning to the police car and that emitted by the radar gun?

what is the wavelength of wave ?
During normal beating, a heart creates a maximum 3.85-mV potential across 0.285 m of a person’s chest, creating a 1.1-Hz electromagnetic wave. During normal beating of the heart, the maximum value of the oscillating potential difference across 0.285 m of a person’s chest is 3.85 mV. This oscillating potential difference produces a 1.1-Hz electromagnetic wave. What is the wavelength, in meters, of the electromagnetic wave?
Polarizing windows, filters, etc. are often used to reduce the amount of light that enters the lens of a camera or into a room or a car. A library atrium has an overhead skylight that lets in too much light during the day which heats up the interior of the library far too much. The building engineer installs new double paned polarizing sky lights to reduce the intensity. If sunlight, which is unpolarized, has an average intensity of 1286 W/m2 what angle should the polarizing axis of the second pane of the window make with the polarizing axis of the first pane of the window in order to reduce the intensity of the sunlight to 29% of the original value?°

The company where you work has obtained and stored five lasers in a supply room. You have been asked to determine the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation produced by each laser. The lasers are marked with specifications, but unfortunately different information is given for each laser: Laser A: power = 2.6 W; diameter of cylindrical beam = 2.6 mm Laser B: amplitude of electric field = 480 V/m Laser C: amplitude of magnetic field = 8.7 x 10-6 T Laser D: diameter of cylindrical beam = 1.8 mm; force on totally reflecting surface = 6.0 x 10-8 N Laser E: average energy density in beam = 3.0 x 10-7 J/m3 Calculate the intensity for each laser, and rank the lasers in order of increasing intensity. Assume that the laser beams have uniform intensity distributions over their cross sections.

What is correct about an electromagnetic wave in vacuum (or free space)? Group of answer choices The amplitude of the electric and magnetic fields are the same. The net energy in the electric and magnetic fields are the same. The energy densities in the electric and magnetic fields are the same. When in the vacuum, electromagnetic waves of higher frequencies travel faster than their lower frequency counterpart.
