Satellite TV is broadcast from satellites that orbit the earth. Their antennas broadcast a 15 kW microwave signal that covers most of North America, an area of about 2.5 × 107 km2. What is the total power that strikes a 46-cm-diameter ground-based dish antenna?
Radio waves and microwaves are used in therapy to provide “deep heating” of tissue because the waves penetrate beneath the surface of the body and deposit energy. We define the penetration depth as the depth at which the wave intensity has decreased to 37% of its value at the surface. The penetration depth is 15 cm for 27 MHz radio waves. For radio frequencies such as this, the penetration depth is proportional to √λ, the square root of the wavelength.
For 27 MHz radio waves, the wave intensity has been reduced by a factor of 3 at a depth of approximately 15 cm. At this point in the tissue, the electric field amplitude has decreased by a factor ofA. 9 B. 3√3 C. 3 D. √3
