A) 750 m
First of all, let's find the wavelength of the microwave. We have
is the frequency
is the speed of light
So the wavelength of the beam is
Now we can use the formula of the single-slit diffraction to find the radius of aperture of the beam:
where
m = 1 since we are interested only in the central fringe
D = 30 km = 30,000 m
a = 2.0 m is the aperture of the antenna (which corresponds to the width of the slit)
Substituting, we find
and so, the diameter is
B) 0.23 W/m^2
First we calculate the area of the surface of the microwave at a distance of 30 km. Since the diameter of the circle is 750 m, the radius is
So the area is
And since the power is
The average intensity is
