A parabolic reflector focuses electromagnetic waves into a beam as shown in the figure. The electromagnetic radiation is pulsed, with a pulse frequency of 11.0 GHz, and the duration of each pulse is t = 1.00 ns. The face of the reflector has a radius of 3.50 cm, and the average power during each pulse is 29.0 kW. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations-including answers submitted in WebAssign.)
