1) A small spaceship cruises the solar system using an ideal, square absorbing solar sail with side length L = 1000 m.
a. Assume the sun can be modeled as a point source of light. If the intensity of electromagnetic radiation near the earth is 1300 W/m^2 , and the earth is 150×10^9m from the sun, what is the power of the sun’s light emission? If this spacecraft is close to Mars, 230×10^9m away from the sun, and is traveling directly away from the sun with an acceleration a0 = 0.01m/s^2 what is the mass of the spacecraft?
b. You fasten two adjustable light polarizers with polarizer axes that subtend an angle θ with respect to one another on the side of the sail where light is incident. These polarizers are the same size as the sail, covering its total area. What must θ be to reduce the acceleration of the craft to a0/8? What must θ be to reduce the acceleration of the craft to 0?
c. Using the value of θ you found that corresponds to the acceleration of a0/8 find the magnitude of the…
What is the wavelength of light if its frequency is 1.4 x 104 Hz? Assume the light is traveling through a vacuum.
a) Find the broadcast wavelength of LIVE 88.5 FM,
which broadcasts at a frequency of 88.5 MHz.
The velocity of a radio wave is 3.00 x 108 m/s
b) While jogging east on a straight road Alan and Harry have their radios tuned to
LIVE 85.5 FM. The broadcast signal is sent out simultaneously from two radio towers 38 km south of the road they are jogging on. At point A, equidistant from
both sources, their radio volumes increase to a maximum. As they continue to jog east their radio volumes alternatively decrease and increase. After they have jogged 1100 m from point A their radios increase in volume for a fourth time (ie. four more times after point A) How far apart are the towers?
