Frank D. Drake, an investigator in the SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) program, once said that the large radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, can detect a signal which lays down only a picowatt of power over entire surface of the Earth. What is the power received by the radio telescope if the diameter of the antenna is300 m? What would be the power of the source at the center of our galaxy which couldprovide such a signal? The center of galaxy is 22000 light years away. Assume that source is radiating uniformly in all directions and that the Earth is a disk with the radiusof 6378 km.

Heat transfer by is the fastest mode of heat transfer that requires no intervening medium. a)-conduction b)-convection c)-radiation d)-conduction and convection

Acompressor compresses a gas, a pump compresses a liquid. for a given pressure ratio, why does it take more work to compress a gas in a compressor than a liquid in a pump? a)- for a given pressure ratio the average specific volume for a gas is much higher than the average specific volume for a liquid. b)- there is no difference. the only difference is the amount of heat generated (not work) c)- for a given pressure ratio the average volurge for a gas is much higher than the average volume for a liquid. d)-there is no difference
