You are a NASA mission specialist on your first flight aboard the space shuttle. Thanks to your extensive training in physics, you have been assigned to evaluate the performance of a new radio transmitter on board the International Space Station (ISS). Perched on the shuttle's moveable arm, you aim a sensitive detector at the ISS, which is a distance of 3.0 km away. You find that the electric-field amplitude of the radio waves coming from the ISS transmitter is 8.9×10−2 V/m and that the frequency of the waves is 201 MHz . Assume the radio transmitter radiates energy uniformly in all directions. I = 1.1*10^5 W/m^2 Bmax = 3*10^-10 T Find the total power output of the ISS radio transmitter
