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.
Apply I ntensity = P/A
The surface area of a sphere is 4pir^2, and so we have half a sphere. That is 2pir^2
I = 50000/2pi(50000)^2
I = 3.18 X 10^-6 W/m^2

[8] An FM broadcasting station has a power of 200,000 Watts. A portable FM radio is capable of detecting FM waves with an energy density as weak as Utot = 1 x 10-14 J/m3. Recalling that intensity, S, is power/area, estimate the maximum distance (in km) the radio can be from the broadcasting station. Recall that area is the spherical area: A = 4772 Show all work
Regulations require that licensed radio stations have limits on their broadcast power so as to avoid interference with signals from distant stations. You are in charge of checking compliance with the law. At a distance of 35 km from a radio station that broadcasts from a single vertical electric dipole antenna at a frequency of 1090 kHz, the intensity of the electromagnetic wave is 2 x 10-13 W/m2. What is the total power radiated by the station?
