QUESTION:

A \(2.50-m\)-diameter university communications satellite dish receives TV signals that have a maximum electric field strength (for one channel) of \(7.50\ \mu V/m\). (See Figure 24.28.) (a) What is the intensity of this wave? (b) What is the power received by the antenna? (c) If the orbiting satellite broadcasts uniformly over an area of \(1.50\times10^{13}\mathrm{\ m}^2\) (a large fraction of North America), how much power does it radiate?

                

Figure 24.28 Satellite dishes receive TV signals sent from orbit. Although the signals are quite weak, the receiver can detect them by being tuned to resonate at their frequency
