[8] An FM broadcasting station has a power of 200,000 Watts. A portable FM radio is...
Question1. A U.S. or Canadian broadcasting licence for a (large) FM radio station stipulates a maximum broadcast power of 100 kW. At any distance from the broadcast antenna the intensity doesn’t quite follow the inverse square law that is described for spherical waves in the videos lectures, because of reflection of the signal off of the ground. But the inverse square law is not a bad approximation, so let’s use it a) Find the intensity of the radio signal from...
A radio station broadcasts with a power of 50,000 watts. Estimate the average intensity of the wave at a distance of 50 km from the radio transmitting antenna. Assume for the purpose of this estimate that the antenna radiates equally in all directions, so that the intensity is constant over a hemisphere centered on the antenna.
FM radio station KRTH in Los Angeles broadcasts on an assigned frequency of 101 MHz with a power of 50,000 W. (a) What is the wavelength of the radio waves produced by this station? (b) Estimate the average intensity of the wave at a distance of 35.3 km from the radio transmitting antenna. Assume for the purpose of this estimate that the antenna radiates equally in all directions, so that the intensity is constant over a hemisphere centered on the...
The FM radio station KAMB broadcasts from an antenna atop a 170 meter tall radio tower at a frequency of 90 MHz with a total radiated power of 40 kilowatts. Neighbors have complained about problems they attribute to excessive radiation from the tower, but the city engineer who measured the radiation level near the base of the tower found it to be well below the accepted standard. You have been hired by the HOA to assess the engineer's report. You...
