a. Two antennas are used for spatial diversity and are at minimum distance from each other. The antennas are 47 meters away from the transmitter and if you draw straight lines from the transmitter to each of the antenna, the lines will be separated by a 3.88 degree angle. Find the height of the antennas and the distance between them.

Radio telescopes are telescopes used for the detection of radio emission from space. Because radio waves have much longer wavelengths than visible light, the diameter of a radio telescope must be very large to provide good resolution. For example, the radio telescope in Penticton, BC in Canada, has a diameter of 26 m and can be operated at frequencies as high as 6.6 GHz. (a) What is the wavelength corresponding to this frequency? (b) What is the angular separation of two radio sources that can be resolved by this telescope? (c) Compare the telescope’s resolution with the angular size of the moon.

(a) What would a small T.V. antenna suggest about the broadcast signal it is designed to receive?(b) A radio station in Sydney broadcasts at 9.67 MHz. What would be the length of its antenna if this is exactly half a wavelength long?
Prior to the switch to digital television broadcasting, and to the popularity of cable television, many homes had outdoor TV antennas. TV-reception antennas for VHF (channels 2 through 13) were constructed with cross wires supported at their centers, as shown in the figure below. The ideal length for the cross wires is one-half the wavelength to be received, with the more expensive antennas having one for each channel. Suppose you measure the lengths of the wires for channels 12 and 6 and find them to be 0.208 m and 0.958 m long, respectively. What is the frequency for channel 12?Hz What is the frequency for channel 6?Hz

Consider a spectrometer based on a diffraction grating.Construct a problem in which you calculate the distancebetween two wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation in yourspectrometer. Among the things to be considered are thewavelengths you wish to be able to distinguish, the number oflines per meter on the diffraction grating, and the distancefrom the grating to the screen or detector. Discuss thepracticality of the device in terms of being able to discernbetween wavelengths of interest.
Frank D. Drake, an investigator in the SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) program, once said that the large radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico , “can detect a signal which lays down on the entire surface of the earth a power of only one picowatt.” (a) What is the power that would be received by the Arecibo antenna for such a signal? The antenna diameter is 300 m. (b) What would be the power of an isotropic source at the center of our galaxy that could provide such a signal? The galactic center is 2.2 * 10^4 ly away. A light-year is the distance light travels in one year.
During the Cold War, American submarines operated as "lone wolves" at extreme ocean depths for many months at a time. Ordinary radio signals are greatly attenuated at such depths, making communication with the submarines difficult. One way suggested to communicate with the submarines was a program the Navy called Seafarer that used extremely low frequency waves. If the Seafarer transmitter broadcast at 82 Hz, what would the transmitter's quarter wavelength antenna have to be in order to receive the signal? km
