Explain how this is possible. Does it imply that TV audio is broadcast as FM?arrow_forwardEM waves, like all other waves, are generated a source. The power of a source measures the rate that it radiates EM energy. The energy spreads outward as the wave carries it away from the source so the amount crossing a given area decreases with distance. The intensity at a given point measures the rate per unit area that EM energy is being transported to that point (i.e. received). Intensity = Source Power/Surface Area The surface area takes into account the specific details of how energy spreads outward as it radiates away from the source. A light source that radiates uniformly in all directions like the one shown in the figure is called isotropic or omni-directional. The energy is spread uniformly across spherical surfaces that are centered on the source so the intensity, , a distance, d, from an isotropic source that with power, P, is given by: I = P 4nd² Observation Point Surface Area4d² The power rating of a light bulb indicates the average power that it consumes when plugged…arrow_forward
