A radio station broadcasts its radio waves with a power of 50,000 W. What would be the intensity of this signal if it is received on a planet orbiting Proxima Centuri, the closest star to our Sun, at 4.243 ly away?
A Doppler weather radar station broadcasts a pulse of radio waves at frequency 2.85 GHz. From a relatively small batch of raindrops at bearing 38.6 east of north, the station receives a reflected pulse after 180 s with a frequency shifted upward by 254 Hz. From a similar batch of raindrops at bearing 39.6 east of north, the station receives a reflected pulse after the same time delay, with a frequency shifted downward by 254 Hz. These pulses have the highest and lowest frequencies the station receives, (a) Calculate the radial velocity components of both batches of raindrops. (b) Assume that these raindrops are swirling in a uniformly rotating vortex. Find the angular speed of their rotation.
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.

A Marconi antenna, used by most AM radio stations, consists of the top half of a Hertz antenna (also known as a half-wave antenna because its length is /2).
