Scientists are working on a new technique to kill cancer cells by zapping them with ultrahighenergy (in the range of 1012 W) pulses of light that last for an extremely short time (a few nanoseconds). These short pulses scramble the interior of a cell without causing it to explode, as long pulses would do. We can model a typical such cell as a disk 5.0 µm in diameter, with the pulse lasting for 4.0 ns with an average power of 2.0 x 1012 W. We shall assume that the energy is spread uniformly over the faces of 100 cells for each pulse. (a) How much energy is given to the cell during this pulse? (b) What is the intensity (in W/m2 ) delivered to the cell? (c) What are the maximum values of the electric and magnetic fields in the pulse?
A galaxy moves away from the Earth. It is observed that light emitted by the galaxy at a
wavelength of 705.2 nm is observed by astronomers at Earth at a wavelength of 736.6 nm.
Determine the velocity at which the galaxy is moving away from the Earth.
Processes at the center of a nearby galaxy cause the emission of electromagnetic radiation at a frequency of 3.05 × 1013 Hz.
Detectors on Earth measure the frequency of this radiation as 2.39 × 1013 Hz. How fast is the galaxy receding from Earth?
