Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 22SEQ
Explain all answers clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk (*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.
*23. SET! Search. Suppose there are 10.000 civilizations broadcasting radio signals in the Milky Way Galaxy right now. On average, how many stars would we have to search before we would expect to hear a signal? Assume there are 400 billion stars in the galaxy. How would the answer change if there were only 100 civilizations instead of 10,000?

- Think of our Milky Way Galaxy as a flat circular disk of diameter 100,000 light-years. Suppose we are one of 1000 civilizations, randomly distributed through the disk, interested in communicating via radio waves. How far away in light years would the nearest such civilization be from us on average? Show your working. (Hint: Begin by calculating the area of the disk. Find the area of one of a 1,000 squares. Consider the separation of the centres of two adjacent squares.)arrow_forwardPlease put all the equations into the pictures and we’ll explained so I can understand:).arrow_forwardWhat is the answer?
