A satellite in geostationary orbit is used to transmit data via electromagnetic radiation. The satellite is at a height of 35,00

0 km above the surface of the earth, and we assume it has an isotropic power output of 1 kW (although, in practice, satellite antennas transmit signals that are less powerful but more directional).Imagine that the satellite described in the problem introduction is used to transmit television signals. You have a satellite TV reciever consisting of a circular dish of radius R which focuses the electromagnetic energy incident from the satellite onto a receiver which has a surface area of 5 cm^2.How large does the radius R of the dish have to be to achieve an electric field vector amplitude of 0.1 mV/m at the receiver?

Answer:

Explanation:

We have the following relation between power, P and intensity, I

I = P/(4*pi*r^2)

= 10^3/(4*pi*(35000*10^3))

= 6.5*10^-14 W/M^2

We also have the following relationship between electric field and electromagnetic radiation thus

I = (ceE^2)/2

Hence E = \sqrt{2I/ce}

substituting the values of I, c and e, we have

7*10^-6 V/m

Two wires are used to suspend a sign that weighs 500 N. The two wires make an angle of 100° between each other. If each wire is
vaieri [72.5K]
1) draw a diagram.
2) label diagram. (split the 100 degrees into 50, (which is right down the middle)  to make a right angle triangle.)
3) since its a free body diagram, the forces known must be labelled. (force of gravity). this shows that the straight vertical line of the right angle triangle is Fg (force gravity). label it.
4) use trigonometry. rearrange the equation to solve for what needs to be known.
 
angles known: 50 (split 100 in half to make a right angle triangle), 90 (since its right angle), and 40 (180-90-50 = 40)

sides known: vertical lined up with the 90 degree angle. Fg. --> fg=mg=500N x 9.81m/s^2 = 4905N

use formula: sin or cos 

i used sin. sin(40) = 4905 / ?
- times '?' on both sides. :  sin(40) x '?' = 4905
-divide both sides by sin(40):  '?' = 4905/ sin(40)
--> Solve.

Which of the following diagrams involves a virtual image ?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The third diagram

Explanation:

  • <u>A virtual image</u> is an image that can not be formed on a screen.
  • <u>A convex lens</u> can form both virtual and real image depending on the position of the object from the lens.
  • A virtual image in convex lens is formed when the object is placed between the focus and the optical center of the lens.
  • In the third diagram, a virtual image is formed because the position of the object is between the focus and the optical center of the convex lens.

Which of the following forms of radiation can penetrate up to a 2-cm layer of skin tissue?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

d). X-rays

Explanation:

X -rays are also called photons. They are a packet of electro magnetic radiation. X rays originate from the shell of the electron.  X rays are highly penetrating, and have a shorter wavelength than alpha particles and the beta particles. They are similar to the gamma rays which are also has a high penetrating power and easily pass through the human body.

 Thus X rays can penetrate a skin tissue upto 2 cm thickness.
