Assume the amplitude of the electric field in a plane electromagnetic wave is E1 and the amplitude of the magnetic field is B1. The source of the wave is then adjusted so that the amplitude of the electric field doubles to become 2E1. What happens to the intensity of the wave?
  1.It becomes four times larger.
  2.It becomes two times larger.
  3.It can stay constant.
  4.It becomes one-half as large.
  5.It becomes one-fourth as large.

Question 2

A small source radiates an electromagnetic wave with a single frequency into vacuum, equally in all directions. As the wave moves, the amplitude of its electric field:
  1.increases.
  2.decreases.
  3.stays constant.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
