Chapter 16, Problem 14CQ
Why did the early Hubble Telescope photos of Cornet Ison approaching Earth show it to have merely a fuzzy coma around it, and not the pronounced double tail that developed later (see below)?

- Imagine that a spacecraft has landed on Mercury and is transmitting radio signals to Earth at a wavelength of 10.000 cm. When Mercury is seen from Earth in the evening sky, at its greatest angular distance east of the Sun, it is moving toward Earth at its maximum possible relative speed of 47.9 km/s. To what wavelength must you tune your radio telescope to detect the signals?

- Voyager 2. When the Voyager 2 spacecraft was approaching towards its Neptune encounter in 1989, it was 4.5 × 10° km away from the earth. Its radio transmitter, with which it communicated with us (and we communicated with it), broadcast with a mere 22 Watt of power at the S-band (2.1 GHz). (Your home wi-fi router emits around 2 Watt at 2.4 GHz wi-fi band). Assuming the Voyager transmitter broadcast equally in all directions, (a) What signal intensity was received on the earth? (b) What electric and magnetic field amplitudes were detected? (c) How many 2.1 GHz photons were arriving per second on a radio-receiver antenna with a circular cross-section of diameter 34 meters? Two counter-propagating plane waves (a) Let E(z, t) = E0 cos(kz – wt)â + E, cos(kz + wt)x. Write E(z, t) in simpler form and find the associated magnetic field.
