106 Figure 17-50 shows a transmitter and receiver of waves con-
tained in a single instrument. It is used to measure the speed u of a
target object (idealized as a flat plate) that is moving directly to-
ward the unit, by analyzing the waves reflected from the target.
What is u if the emitted frequency is 18.0 kHz and the detected fre-
quency (of the returning waves) is 22.2 kHz?

Intensity is measured in watts per square metre (W m-2).
For example, when the Sun is directly overhead, the
intensity of its radiation is about 1.0kW m-2 (1 kilowatt per
square metre). This means that energy arrives at the rate of
about 1 kW (1000 Js) on each square metre of the surface
of the Earth. At the top of the atmosphere, the intensity of
sunlight is greater, abolit 1.37 kW m-2.
QUESTION
4 A 100W lamp emits electromagnetic radiation in
all directions. Assuming the lamp to be a point
source, calculate the intensity of the radiation:
a at a distance of 1.0 m from the lamp
b ata distance of 2.0 m from the lamp.
Hint: Think of the area of a sphere at each of the
two radii.
