Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field, oscillating in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.
All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, the speed of light, whose value is:
Microwave is an example of electromagnetic waves.
The relationship between wavelength and frequency for an electromagnetic wave is:
where
is the wavelength
is the speed of light
f is the frequency
For the microwave in this problem,
So its wavelength is
A)
The total energy of the system is equal to the maximum elastic potential energy, that is achieved when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (x=A):
(1)
where k is the spring constant.
The total energy, which is conserved, at any other point of the motion is the sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy:
(2)
where x is the displacement, m the mass, and v the speed.
We want to know the displacement x at which the elastic potential energy is 1/3 of the kinetic energy:
Using (2) we can rewrite this as
And using (1), we find
Substituting into the last equation, we find the value of x:
B)
In this case, the kinetic energy is 1/10 of the total energy:
Since we have
we can write
And so we find:
