The New Horizons space probe transmits to Earth at a frequency of 8.3 GHz. At some point the wave intensity was I = 2.85e-25 W/m^2.

a) What will be the intensity of the wave three times the distance from the space probe?

b) What is the wavelength of the transmitted signal? If the power of the sun is 3.88e + 26W.

c) At what distance from the sun, the radiation intensity will be 0.263 W/m^2?

d) What will be the absorption radiation pressure exerted by the sun on the wave at that distance?

e) If we consider the above distance as the New Horizons distance from the earth. And that the antenna power is 17W. What will be the intensity of the wave transmitted by New Horizons reaching Earth?

f) How many times farther is the New Horizons probe from the beginning of the problem?

The New Horizons space probe flew by Pluto in July of 2015 and sent back the first high-resolution images of its surface. Due to the distance between Pluto and Earth at that time, it took 4.5 hours to receive the radio waves which travel at the speed of light (c=3.0x108m/s). New Horizons transmits signals with a radio antenna that are received on Earth with a 35 m radius satellite dish. The dish can detect signals as weak as 5.0x10-15 W....

NASA is sending a space probe to the outer planets of the solar system. The space probe uses solar panels for power. The light intensity from the sun is 1000 W/m2 at the location of the Earth. Assuming a solar panel can convert 10% of incoming light into electricity and the spacecraft needs 400 W of electrical power to function, how large (area) would a solar panel need to be at the distance to Jupiter, which 5 times further away...

A satellite orbits Earth with an orbit radius equal to 4 × 107 m (measured from the center of the Earth). The satellite transmits electromagnetic waves to 2 × 109 Hz. Assume that the satellite transmits the radiation evenly in all directions. The intensity of the EM wave received by an antenna circular on the Earth's surface is 2 × 10-12 W / m2 when the satellite is located 3 × 107 m above the antenna. The antenna disk has...

The broadcast transmitter transmits a sinusoidal radio signal at a frequency of 95 MHz with a transmission power of 55 kW. The radio signal is received at a distance of 2.5 km with a circular wire antenna with a diameter of 18 cm. What is the maximum possible electromotive force induced in the loop antenna, assuming that the transmitted power is evenly distributed in all directions? Far from the transmitter, the wave can be locally modeled as a planar wave....

1. A space probe is launched from Earth, headed for deep space. At a distance of 10,000 miles from Earth's center, the gravitational force on the space probe is 520 pounds. If the gravitational force acting on the probe is proportional to 1/d2, what is the force in Newtons when the probe is four times as far from Earth's center?
