The frequency and wavelength of EM waves can vary over a wide range of values. Scientists refer to the full range of frequencies that EM radiation can have as the electromagnetic spectrum. Electromagnetic waves are used extensively in modern technology. Many devices are built to emit and/or receive EM waves at a very specific frequency, or within a narrow band of frequencies. Here are some examples followed by their frequencies of operation:
garage door openers: 40.0 MHz
standard cordless phones: 40.0 to 50.0 MHz
baby monitors: 49.0 MHz
FM radio stations: 88.0 to 108 MHz
cell phones: 800 to 900 MHz
Global Positioning System: 1227 to 1575 MHz
microwave ovens: 2450 MHz
wireless internet technology: 2.4 to 2.6 GHz
Which of the following statements correctly describe the various applications listed above? Check all that apply.
a.) All these technologies use radio waves, including low-frequency microwaves.
b.) All these technologies use radio waves, including high-frequency microwaves.
c.) All these technologies use a combination of infrared waves and high-frequency microwaves.
d.) Microwave ovens emit in the same frequency band as some wireless Internet devices.
e.) The radiation emitted by wireless Internet devices has the shortest wavelength of all the technologies listed above.
f.) All these technologies emit waves with a wavelength in the range of 0.10 to 10.0 m.
g.) All the technologies emit waves with a wavelength in the range of 0.01 to 10.0 km.

An insulated 40 ft^3 rigid tank contains air at 50 psia and 120°f. a valve connected to the tank is now opened, and air is allowed to escape until the pressure inside drops to 25 psia. the air temperature during this process is kept constant by an electric resistance heater placed in the tank. determine the electrical work done during this process.
