The terminology of different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum is given in the text. Use the formula E = hv (for energy of a quantum of radiation: photon) and obtain the photon energy in units of eV for different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. In what way are the different scales of photon energies that you obtain related to the sources of electromagnetic radiation?

A rectangular loop of sides 8 cm and 2 cm with a cut is stationary between the pole pieces of an electromagnet. The magnetic field of the magnet is normal to the loop. The current feeding the electromagnet is reduced so that the field decreases from its initial value of 0.3 T at the rate of 0.02 T s^-1 . If the cut is joined and the loop has a resistance of 1.6 Omega , how much power is dissipated by the loop as heat? What is the source of this power?

Electromagnetic waves with wavelength lambda_1 used in statellite communication. lambda_2 used to kill germs in water purifies. lambda_3 is used to detect leakage of oil in underground pipelines. lambda_4 is used to improve visibility in runway during fog and mist conditions. Arrange these wavelengths in ascending order of their magnitude.
