How hot would a source need to be to emit its maximum radiation in the FM range of the radio dial (105.8 MHz)? Why do common objects not interfere with our radio reception?
f = frequency = 105.8 x 106 Hz
c = speed of radiation = 3 x 108 m/s
Wavelength of the radiation is given as
= c/f
= (3 x 108)/(105.8 x 106)
= 2.84 m
Temperature of radiation is given as
T = b/
T = 2.898 x 10-3 /2.84
T = 0.00102 K = 1.02 x 10-3 K
common objects do not inteference because the wavelength is large and not comparable with the wavelength of the objects.

The white light source in this demonstration emits light because the electrons in its filament get so hot that they vibrate rapidly enough to emit radiation in the visible range. Briefly explain why this produces light that is so different from the light of the hydrogen lamp
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...
An FM signal has an intelligence frequency of 5 KHz, a maximum deviation of 30 KHz, and a carrier frequency of 162.4 MHz. Use the Bessel Function chart to answer the following: a) Its bandwidth b) How many frequency components are there in the output spectrum? c) What is the frequency of the highest frequency component within its bandwidth?
The discovery of pulsars –rotating neutron stars that generate regular pulses of radiation at their spin rate- was fortuitous. A group of astrophysicists from Cambridge University lead by Anthony Hewish was looking for quasars (these are extremely bright, compact and remote objects that emit up to a thousand times as much light as our entire galaxy). For that purpose the research group designed a radio-telescope that was built on the flat fields surrounding Cambridge in central England. This telescope did...

Each pound of premium hoo beef, 0. ermine how many pounds of premium hot dogs and how many pounds of regular por and 0.25 lb of filler for its manufacture. Each pound of regular hot dogs uses 0.20 Ib of beef, bok and 3000 lb of filler. d requirements. The company makes a profit of $0.45 per Ib on premium hot dogs...
Need help on a few questions with an explanation 1. Draw an “infographic” that that would help someone understand the entire range of EM Radiation. Include both wavelength, frequency. 2. Every object emits EM radiation of some sort and the hotter the temperature of the object, the higher the frequency produced. What type of radiation are YOU producing most of right now? 3. An astronomer shines a laser at the moon which bounces off and reflects back to a detector...
1. why do we need protists? what are some things that would happen if certain groups of protists went extinct? Be specific 2. list one disease caused by a protist. Provide the common name and scientific name of the organism, and briefly describe its life cycle. include the source for your information
What are the implications of the three main types of geometry for the structure and fate of our universe? (That is, what does it mean for our universe if its overall geometry is flat, positively curved, or negatively curved?) Why are 2-D and even 3-D models not the best for describing our universe? Some scientists (especially string theorists) have suggested there are higher dimensions. Why would higher dimensions need to exist in their models? If the universe does expand forever,...
