Answer #1

Speed of radio signal = speed of light =  

DIstance of Jupiter from Earth =   or  

Thus time taken by

time= distance/speed

or

Hence time required for given problem is 32.7222 minutes.

How close to the black hole must a space station be such that a signal it sends to Earth using shortwave radio (roughly 0.1 meter wavelength) gets redshifted to ultra long-wave radio (roughly 1000 meter wavelength)? Assume the Earth is very far away from the black hole. Express your answer as a multiple of the black hole’s Schwarzschild radius.
