5. A radar system operating at 10.0 GHz (note, you don't need frequency for the problem, it just gives you a sense of scale) sends a pulse of 0.100 microseconds duration. This bounces back from some distant object and the travel time indicates the distance to the target. a.) Find the length (in meters) of the wave group. You can assume the radio waves are moving in vacuum. (hint, don't use uncertainty yet, just velocity etc.) b.) What is the minimum bandwidth (spread of frequencies) the radar receiver must be able to process? (Hint, use uncertainty in energy related to time, and relate frequency to energy.)
