Almost all telescopes have a circular mirror. The area of a circle is proportional to r^2 where r is the radius of the circle, the constant of proportionality being 4\pi
S =4\pi r^2
Therefore the area of 150 meter telescope would be 
S_1/S_2=(r_1/r_2)^2 =(75/5)^2 =15^2=225
times bigger than the area of the smaller (10 meter) telescope.

The intensity of the radiation from the Sun measured on Earth is 1360 W/m2 and frequency is f = 60 MHz. The distance between the
Mama L [17]

Answer: (a) power output = 3.85×10²⁶W

(b). There is no relative change in power as it is independent from frequency

(c). 590 W/m²

Explanation:

given Radius between earth and sun to be = 1.50 × 10¹¹m

Intensity of the radiation from the sun measured on earth to be = 1360 W/m²

Frequency = 60 MHz

(a). surface area A of the sun on earth is = 4πR²

substituting value of R;

A = 4π(.50 × 10¹¹)² = 2.863 10²³×m²

A = 2.863 10²³×m²

now to get the power output of the sun we have;

<em>P </em>sun = <em>I </em><em>sun-earth </em><em>A </em><em>sun-earth</em>

where A = 2.863 10²³×m², and <em>I </em> is 1360 W/m²

<em>P </em>sun =  2.863 10²³ × 1360

<em>P </em>sun = 3.85×10²⁶W

(c). surface area A of the sun on mars is = 4πR²

now we substitute value of 2.28 ×10¹¹ for R sun-mars, we have

A sun-mars = 4π(2.28× 10¹¹)²

A sun-mars = 6.53 × 10²³m²

now to calculate the intensity of the sun;

<em>I </em><em>sun-mars = </em><em>P </em>sun / A sun-mars

where <em>P </em>sun = 3.85×10²⁶W and A sun-mars = 6.53 × 10²³m²

<em>I </em><em>sun-mars =  </em>3.85×10²⁶W / 6.53 × 10²³m²

<em>I </em><em>sun-mars = </em>589.6 ≈ 590 W/m²

<em>I </em><em>sun-mars = </em>590 W/m²
