- It's a complete question. Need help asap.arrow_forwardThis question relates to the practicality of searching for intelligent life in other solar systems by detecting their radio broadcasts (or aliens find us from ours). The closest stars are 4 light years away from us. How far away must you be from a 460 kHz radio station with power 50.0 kW for there to be only one photon per second per square meter? Assume that the photons spread out spherically. The area of a sphere is 4??24πr2. b) How many lightyears away is this?arrow_forwardRemember that photon (particle of light) has no mass, so according to energy- momentum relationship, E² = (mc²)² + (pc)², the photon energy (E) is related to its momentum (py) by E₁ = pyc.
