Answer:
Zero
Explanation:
The work done by a force on an object is given by:
where
F is the magnitude of the force
d is the displacement of the object
is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement of the object
In this situation, the force is the force of gravity acting on the satellite. This force always points towards the centre of the trajectory, so it is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the satellite (since the orbit is circular), so and
. Therefore, the work done by gravity is also zero.

Explanation:
The data given in the problem
Diameter of a human pupil=0.007 m=7 mm
Diameter of alien pupil=0.5=500 mm
Here we have to calculate the minimum distance at which the alien can see Betelgeuse i.e. the focal length (or the working distance). For this calculation we assume the eye to be a spherical lens.
The focal length and diameter of the lens are related by the formula Where r is radius of curvature i.e. d/2
Therefore for the alien, focal length==12.5mm=0.0125
