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.
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?
In our study of diffraction by a single slit, we assume that the length of the slit is much larger than the width. What happens to the diffraction pattern if these two dimensions were comparable?

Scientists use laser range finding to measure the distance to the moonwith great accuracy. A very brief (100 ps) laser pulse, with a wavelengthof 532 nm, is fired at the moon, where it reflects off an array of 100 4.0-cm-diameter mirrors placed there by Apollo 14 astronauts in 1971. The reflected laser light returns to earth, where it is collected by a telescope and detected. The average earth-moon distance is 384,000 km. The laser beam spreads out on its way to the moon because of diffraction, reaching the mirrors with an intensity of 300 W/m2. The reflected beam spreads out even more on its way back because of diffraction due to the circular aperture of the mirrors.a. What is the round-trip time for the laser pulse to travel to the moon and back?b. If we want to measure the distance to the moon to an accuracy of 1.0 cm, how accurately must the arrival time of the returning pulse be measured?c. Because of the spread of the beam due to diffraction, the light arriving at earth from one…

Mr. Hadi sent an email using 01 Gbps network bandwidth which contained a message size of 2.5-KB (Kilobyte) . Mr. John is X km away from sender (where X =172) who received email at speed of light travels at 2.4 × 108 m/s. You may need to calculate propagation time and the transmission time for the entire communication, and also discuss the dominant factor in this communication. Draw the figure by labelling all above mentioned values and add screen shot in your answer along with your solution.
