What is the wavelength of radio waves transmitted by a radio station with a frequency of 100 million cycles per second?
The Sun’s energy strikes Earth at an intensity of 1.37kW/m2 . Assume as a mode! approximation that all of the light is absorbed. (Actually, about 30% of the light intensity is reflected out into space.) (a) Calculate the total force that the Sun’s radiation exerts on Earth. (b) Compare this to the force of gravity between the Sun and Earth. Earth’s mass is 5.9721024 kg.
Radio station WWVB, operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) from Fort Collins, Colorado, at a low frequency of 60 kHz, broadcasts a time synchronization signal whose range covers the entire continental US. The timing of the synchronization signal is controlled by a set of atomic clocks to an accuracy of 101012 s, and repeats every 1 minute. The signal is used for devices, such as radio-controlled watches, that automatically synchronize with it at preset local times. WWVB's long wavelength signal tends to propagate close to the ground. (a) Calculate the wavelength of the radio waves from WWVB. (b) Estimate the error that the travel time of the signal causes in synchronizing a radio controlled watch in Norfolk, Virginia, which is 1570 mi (2527 km) from Fort Collins, Colorado.
Lunar astronauts placed a reflector on the Moon’s surface, off which a laser beam is periodically reflected. The distance to the Moon is calculated from the round-trip time. (a) To what accuracy in meters can the distance to the Moon be determined, If this time can be measured to 0.100 ns? (b) What percent accuracy is this, given the average distance to the Moon is 384,480 kin?
Suppose a star 1000 times brighter than our Sun (that is, emitting 1000 times the power) suddenly goes supernova. Using data from Table 7.3: (a) By what factor does its power output increase? (b) How many times brighter than our entire Milky Way galaxy is the supernova? (c) Based on your answers, discuss whether it should be possible to observe supernovas in distant galaxies. Note that there are on the order of 1011 observable galaxies, the average brightness of which is somewhat less than our own galaxy.
The electromagnetic spectrum ranges from cosmic rays to radio waves. Although we don't look at cosmic rays all too much in this unit, the order from highest to lowest energy in the sections of the EM spectrum are named: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, mierowaves, and radio waves, For 3 sections of the EM spectrum, name 1-2 examples that can be used in our lives. We have provided an example down below. EM Spectrum Sections Examples Cosmic Rays Gamma Rays X-rays Ultraviolet Radiation Visible Light Our Sun Glowsticks Infrared Radiation Microwaves Radio Waves
