A dish antenna with a diameter of 25.2 m receives (at normal incidence) a radio signal from a distant source, as shown in the figure below. The radio signal is a continuous sinusoidal wave with amplitude Emax = 0.28 µV/m. Assume the antenna absorbs all the radiation that falls on the dish.   (a) What is the amplitude of the magnetic field in this wave?  T (b) What is the intensity of the radiation received by the antenna?  W/m2 (c) What is the power received by the antenna?

Question

A dish antenna with a diameter of 25.2 m receives (at normal incidence) a radio signal from a distant source, as shown in the figure below. The radio signal is a continuous sinusoidal wave with amplitude Emax = 0.28 µV/m. Assume the antenna absorbs all the radiation that falls on the dish.

 

(a) What is the amplitude of the magnetic field in this wave?
 T

(b) What is the intensity of the radiation received by the antenna?
 W/m2

(c) What is the power received by the antenna?
