Detailed Solution

(a)(i) Radar—Microwaves are used in radar. The frequency range is from Microwaves: Frequency range (1010 to 1012 Hz)
(ii) Eye Surgery — Infrared waves are used. The frequency range is from Ultraviolet rays: Frequency
range (1015 to 1017 Hz)
Energy density in oscillating electric field is
uE=12ε0E2
Energy density in oscillating magnetic field is- uB=12μ0B2
We know, E=c B
And   c=1μ0ε0
So,  uE=12ε0(cB)2=12ε01μ0ε0×B2
=12μ0B2
So,   uE=uB
