Producing EM waves in laboratory

AI Thread Summary
Producing electromagnetic (EM) waves of arbitrary wavelengths and intensities in a laboratory setting is not feasible with a single apparatus. Different devices are designed to emit specific ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as light bulbs for visible light and radio transmitters for radio waves. Consequently, achieving a desired wavelength requires selecting the appropriate equipment tailored to that specific range. There is no universal solution for generating all EM wavelengths simultaneously. Understanding the limitations of each apparatus is crucial for effective experimentation.

Homework Statement


I am just wondering is there any apparatus available to produce EM waves of arbitrary wavelength and intensities? If not, how I can produce an EM wave of my desired wavelength in the laboratory?

I completely have no idea :(

Yes, the light switch. :biggrin:

Seriously though. The spectrum that you get is going to be based on the apparatus that you're using. You're not going to get X-rays from a light bulb and you're not going to get visible light from a radio transmitter. There isn't a single apparatus that will give you every possible EM wavelength.
 
lol thanks!
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'
My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
