TV uses satellites that hover above one point over our planet as the rest rotates. The satellites give out 10 GHz EM waves that a dish (with a diameter of 40cm) on a house's roof absorbs. The dishes are like circular apertures to collect signals. These dishes have to distinguish signals from two adjacent satellites to get good signal. Draw and label a diagram, show all work, and explain throughly using physics equations: What is the maximum amount of satellites that can be used for TV ? Earth radius = 6.38 x 106 m Earth mass = 6 x 1024 kg
