Suppose a 128-kbps point-to-point link is set up between the Earth and a rover on Mars. The distance from the Earth to Mars(when they are closest together) is approximately 55 Gm, and data travels over the link at the speed of light (3X108m/s). Calculate the minimum RTT for the link. (b)Calculate the delay X bandwidth product for the link. A camera on the rover takes pictures of its surroundings andsends these to Earth. How quickly after a picture is taken canit reach Mission Control on Earth? Assume that each image is 5Mb in size.

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 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?
At what speed must a human weighing 150.0 lb be traveling in order to have a wavelength at 650 nm?
Radio-controlled clocks throughout the United States receivea radio signal from a transmitter in Fort Collins, Colorado,that accurately (within a microsecond) marks the beginningof each minute. A slight delay, however, is introducedbecause this signal must travel from the transmitter to theclocks. Assuming Fort Collins is no more than 3000 km fromany point in the U.S., what is the longest travel-time delay?

A radio station on the surface of the earth radiates an EM-wave with an average total power of 50 kilowatts. Assuming the transmitter radiates equally in all directions (not in real life), find the amplitudes Emaxmax and Bmaxmax detected by a satellite at a distance of 100 km from the antenna?
