Answer:

Explanation:

Newton's law of gravitation states that every particle of matter attracts any other particle in the universe with a force directly proportional to the product of there masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

<u>This law is also called universal law because it is applicable to all masses at all distances irrespective of the medium</u>.

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

$2.77287\times 10^{15}\ m$

Explanation:

P = Power = 50 kW

n = Number of photons per second

h = Planck's constant = $6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s$

$\nu$ = Frequency = 781 kHz

r = Distance at which the photon intensity is i = 1 photon/m²

Power is given by

$P=nh\nu\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{P}{h\nu}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{50000}{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 781000}\\\Rightarrow n=9.66201\times 10^{31}\ photons/s$

Photon intensity is given by

$i=\dfrac{n}{4\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow 1=\dfrac{9.66201\times 10^{31}}{4\pi r^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\sqrt{\dfrac{9.66201\times 10^{31}}{4\pi}}\\\Rightarrow r=2.77287\times 10^{15}\ m$
