THz, (b) 3.10 GHz, and (c) 46.0 MHZ. (d) Determine the corresponding

Calculate the energy of a photon of frequency 3.5 x 1015 Hz, in electronvolts (eV). Do an online search to find the conversion factor between electronvolts and joules.
This 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 881 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.

- This 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?

- The most massive stars in the Universe have a surface temperature that can reach over 50 000 K. Life on planets like Earth cannot exist at 1AU from such stars, it's too hot.

Express your answer to two significant figures.arrow_forwardWhen an atom emits a photon in a transition from a state of energy E1 to a state of energy E2, the photon energy is not precisely equal to E1-E2. Conservation of momentum requires that the atom must recoil, and so some energy must go into recoil kinetic energy KR. Show that KR is roughly equal to (E1-E2)2/2Mc2, where M is the mass of the atom.
