Textbook Question
Chapter 24, Problem 55EAP
SETI Signal. Consider a civilization broadcasting a signal with a power of 10,000 watts. The Arecibo radio telescope, which is about 300 meters in diameter, could detect this signal if it was coming from as far away as 100 light-years. Suppose instead that the signal is being broadcast from the other side of the Milky Way Galaxy, about 70,000 light-years away. How large a radio telescope would we need to detect this signal? (Hint: Use the inverse square law for light.)
