Chapter 29, Problem 67P
The Voyager I spacecraft is now beyond the outer reaches of our solar system, but earthbound scientists still receive data from the spacecraft's 20-W radio transmitter. Voyager is expected to continue transmitting until about 2025, when it will be some 25 billion km from Earth. What's the diameter of a dish antenna that will receive 10−20 W of power from Voyager at this time?
