Consider a civilization broadcasting a signal with a power of 1.2×104 watts. The Arecibo radio telescope, which is about 300 met

ers in diameter, could detect this signal if it is coming from as far away as 110 light-years. Suppose instead that the signal is being broadcast from the other side of the Milky Way Galaxy, about 70000 light-years away.

The same power (1.9×10^4 watts) gets diminished by Inverse square law 
<span>(ratio of distances)² </span>
<span>= (138/70000)² </span>
<span>= 3.886506 X 10^-6 . </span>
<span>This is the diminution factor for the given sensitivity of the telescope. But at 3.8865 millionth below the sensitivity its is far below detection; it needs to be enhanced by collecting the energy over an area so many times more (by an aperture multiplied by same factor) </span>
<span>1/[3.886506 X 10^-6] = 257298.88 </span>
<span>In other words the diameter should have the ratio of square root of this </span>
<span>(70000/138). </span>
<span>This multiplied by 300m dish gives </span>
<span>300 X (70000/138) = 152173.913 m = 152.1739 km. </span>
<span>This should be the aperture of the new telescope for detecting the signal.</span>

What fraction of the water must evaporate to remove precisely enough energy to keep the temperature constant? water at 37°c has
mart [117]

The fraction of the water must evaporate to remove precisely enough energy to keep the temperature constant when water at 37°c has a latent heat of vaporization of lv = 580 kcal/kg is 2.58 times 10 to the minus 3.

Vaporization is the process by which a substance is transformed from its liquid or solid state into its gaseous (vapour) state. Boiling is the term for the vaporization process when conditions permit the creation of vapour bubbles within a liquid. Sublimation is the process of directly converting a solid to a liquid.

Boiling and evaporation are the two processes that cause vaporization. Evaporation is the process by which a liquid body's surface changes from a liquid to a gas, as in the case of a drop of water on hot concrete evaporating into a gas. A liquid is said to be boiling when it is heated to the point at which it begins to give off steam, as when you boil water on a stove. The process of converting a substance from its liquid or solid state into its gaseous (vapour) state is known as vaporization.

What is Snell law of refraction????​
Morgarella [4.7K]

\huge\mathbb\colorbox{black}{\color{white}{⏫FORMULA⏫}}

\huge\red {\underline { \overline{ \bf \mid\: \:  \: ↓ANSWER↓ \: \: \mid}}}

Explanation:

Snell's law (also known as Snell–Descartes law and the law of refraction) is a formula used to describe the relationship between the angles of incidence and refraction, when referring to light or other waves passing through a boundary between two different isotropic media, such as water, glass, or air.
