A certain star is 15.6 million light-years from Earth. The intensity of the light that reaches Earth from the star is 2.90 × 10−21 W/m2. At what rate does the star radiate EM energy?
Around the core of a nuclear reactor shielded by a large pool of water, Cerenkov radiation appears as a blue glow (see figure below). Cerenkov radiation occurs when a particle travels faster through a
medium than the speed of light in that medium. It is the electromagnetic equivalent of a bow wave or a sonic boom. An electron is traveling through water at a speed 7.2% faster than the speed of
light in water.

- High-Energy Cancer Treatment. 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).

We can model a typical such cell as a disk 5.0 um in diameter, with the pulse lasting for 4.0 ns with an average power of 2.0 * 1012 W.

I connect my vacuum system to the mass spectrometer, and spray my systems walls with helium. If the mass spectrometer reads helium when I spray a particular wall of my system, I can pinpoint where the leak is. Suppose an ionized helium atom has a mass of 6.6 x 10^-27 kg and a speed of 4.4 x 10 ^5 m/s as it moves into the mass spectrometer. It moves perpendicular to a .75 T magnetic field on a circular path that has a .012-m radius. Determine whether the charge of the ionized atom is +e or +2e.arrow_forward
