Two radio antennas separated by d = 300 m as shown in Figure P27.3 simultaneously broadcast identical signals at the same wavelength. A car travels due north along a straight line at position x = 1 000 m from the center point between the antennas, and its radio receives the signals. (a) If the car is at the position of the second maximum after that at point O when it has traveled a distance y = 400 m northward, what is the wavelength of the signals? (b) How much farther must the car travel from this position to encounter the next minimum in reception? Note: Do not use the small-angle approximation in this problem.
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.
The 305-m-diameter Arecibo radio telescope pictured in Figure 4.20 detects radio waves with a 4.00-cm average wavelength. (a) What is the angle between two just-resolvable point sources for this telescope? (b) How close together could these point sources be at the 2 million light-year distance of the Andromeda Galaxy? Figure 4.20 A 305-m-diameter paraboloid at Arecibo in Puerto Rico is lined with reflective material, making it into a radio telescope. It is the largest curved focusing dish in the world. Although D for Arecibo is much larger than for the Hubble Telescope, it detects radiation of a much longer wavelength and its diffraction limit is significantly poorer than Hubble’s. The Arecibo telescope is still very useful, because important information is carried by radio waves that is not carried by visible light. (credit: Jeff Hitchcock)

The initials "FM" stand for frequency modulation. When broadcasting a radio wave, the constant frequency "B" in our problems becomes a varying quantity, f(t), such that Y= Asin[2pieF(t)]t. This causes the waves to have an inconsistent wavelength. The FCA assigns eah radio station a "band-width" around an assigned frequency in megahertz, MHz, which is simply a million waves/seond. For example, 98.7 is allowed to let it's frequencies vary slightly about/below 98.7 MHz. A. Suppose a FM radio station is assigned an equation of y=Asin[2pie(93,200,000 + 10,000sin 500piet)]t. What is the assigned frequency in MHz? B. Give the minimum and maximum frequencies of the FM radio station over time. C. If you've ever hanged stations while traveling, you may have been able to hear 2 FM stations at the same time. Explain how this can happen.
