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.

The star Betelgeuse has a surface temperature of 3000 K and is 600 times the diameter of our sun. (If our sun were that large, we would be inside it!) Assume that it radiates like an ideal blackbody. (a) If Betelgeuse were to radiate all of its energy at the peak intensity wavelength, how many photons per second would it radiate?
