A local radio station broadcasts radio waves at 99.7 MHz. Unlikesound, radio waves can pass into outer space, because they are disturbancesnot in air molecules but in the e-m fields that exist even in the vacuum ofspace. It's energy traveling independent of matter.a. When that radio wave hits you, how many pulses (wave crests) of em radiation hit you perminute (60 seconds)? (reminder: M = 10 6)b. Radio waves move at the speed of light (c), how far apart is eachwave crest (wavelength)?c. If we boosted the signal strength so that station could be heard onthe moon, would either the wavelength or frequency change?

Answered: Image /qna-images/answer/d35f53b4-1e14-42ba-98bf-b117f3f3588b.jpga. Frequency in 1 minutes = 5.982 × 109 Hzb. Wavelength = 3 mc. Wavelength will increase and frequency will decrease

One idea for exploring distant star systems is to use a laser-pushed light sail to propel tiny probes out of our solar system. The basic idea is that an Earth-based laser is aimed at the light sail of the probe, and the radiation pressure causes the probe to accelerate. Suppose a 150-kW laser array with a beam cross-section of 0.012 m2 is incident on the perfectly reflecting light sail of a 0.075 kg probe. a. What is the radiation pressure on the probe due to the laser? b. Assuming all of the laser light is incident on the light sail perpendicular to the plane of the sail, what is the acceleration of the probe? (Make the admittedly terrible assumption that the only significant force on the probe is from the radiation pressure). c. Using your answer to part b, and assuming the probe is initially at rest, how long in years would it take for the probe to travel one light year (this is the distance light travels in vacuum in one year), and how fast would it be moving once it travels that…
