FM radio

Which is higher in energy, FM radio waves with a frequency of 1.015 x 108 Hz (101.5 MHz) or visible green light with a frequency of 5 x 1014 Hz ... 

Figure 2. Detection range for an FM radio transmitter at Wrotham in south-east England and a receiver at UCL. The solid contour represents a signal-to-noise ratio of 15dB.

Filters based on this principle made from PZT ceramic have been widely used in the intermediate frequency stages of FM radio receivers. More stable units suitable for telecommunication filters are made from single-crystal LiTa03 and quartz. 

Because at any given field strength each nucleus has a characteristic resonant frequency, we can tune the radio dial to any nucleus we are interested in observing. We can think of the various NMR-active nuclei in the sample as radio stations that we can tune into very accurately, just as stations come into tune in a very narrow range of frequencies on an FM radio. Having chosen a station to listen to, what can we learn by observing a particular type of nucleus The resonant frequency is always, always, always proportional to the magnetic field ... 

An FM radio station broadcasts at 99.5 MHz. Calculate the wavelength of the corresponding radio waves. 

After an open spot on the FM band Is found and the transmitter tuned (complete instructions are Included with the mike) a portable FM radio is tuned to the same frequency. The radio is turned on and is connected to a tape recorder with a phone Jack. One end It plugged into the speaker outlet on the radio. The other end Is plugged Into the Input Jack on the tape machine. Insert a blank 120 minute tape (60 min./side) and press the record" button. Professional surveillance people use modified cassette machines that turn very slowly,... 

Nonionizing radiation consists of parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that correspond to microwaves, also identified as RF waves and extremely low frequency (ELF) waves. RF waves range from 300 MHz to 30 GHz and correspond to AM radio, FM radio, TV, mobile telephone, and micro-wave oven transmissions. ELF waves are in the 50-60 Hz range and correspond to electrical transmission power line emissions. 

The voice fell silent. After a while I got to my feet and stumbled back into the house. The rest of the trip was relatively uneventful -- lots of somatic electricity and Liquid Plumber sloshing around in my head. A local FM radio station played a piece by Alan Hovhaness, Mountains and Rivers Without End -- powerful music to hear while on a psychedelic. By late afternoon I d drifted back into normal awareness again. I was very glad to be back. 

Challenge While an FM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 94.7 MHz, an AM station broadcasts at a frequency of 820 kHz. What are the wavelengths of the two broadcasts Which of the drawings below corresponds to the FM station ...
