(a)

To determine

What is the mean power density (mW/cm2), at a distance of 50 km if a radio station transmits at a power of 50,000 W. Assuming the electromagnetic energy to be isotropically radiated (in the case of a real radio transmitter, emission is not isotropic)?

(b)

To determine

What is the maximum electric field strength at that distance?

(c)

To determine

What is the maximum magnetic field strength at that distance?

The ICNIRP also has guidelines for magnetic-field exposure for the general public. In the frequency range of 25 Hz to 3 kHz, this guideline states that the maximum allowed magnetic-field amplitude is 5>f T, where f is the frequency in kHz. Which is a more stringent limit on allowable electromagnetic-wave intensity in this frequency range: the electric-field guideline or the magnetic-field guideline? (a) The magnetic-field guideline, because at a given frequency the allowed magnetic field is smaller than the allowed electric field. (b) The electric-field guideline, because at a given frequency the allowed intensity calculated from the electric-field guideline is smaller. (c) It depends on the particular frequency chosen (both guidelines are frequency dependent). (d) Neither—for any given frequency, the guidelines represent the same electromagneticwave intensity
A receiver that is a 1000 km from a radio wave transmitter records an intensity of 2000 W/m2forincident radio waves.(a) What is the power of radio waves emitted by the transmitter? (b) What is the peak electric field strength of the received radio wave? (c) What is its peak magnetic field strength?  (d) Determine the wavelength of a 30 MHz radio wave, now travelling in water (speed of EMwaves in water = 2.26 x 108 m/s).
Problem 7:   If you wish to observe features that are around the size of atoms, say 8.5 × 10-10 m, with electromagnetic radiation, the radiation must have a wavelength of about the size of the atom itself. Part (a)  If you had a microscope which was capable of doing this, what would the frequency of electromagnetic radiation be, in hertz, that you would have to use?  Part (b)  What type of electromagnetic radiation would this be?  Infrared    Gamma rays    None of these    UltravioletX-Rays
