makes
two orbits around the Earth per day. Each satellite transmits a 50.0 sinusoidal
electromagnetic signal at two frequencies, one of which is 1575.42. Assume that a
satellite transmits half of its power at each frequency, and that the waves travel uniformly in
a downward hemisphere.
a. What average intensity does a GPS receiver on the ground, directly below the satellite,
receive? (Hint: for satellites in Earth orbit, the gravitational force
supplies the centripetal force for the satellite to remain in orbit).
b. What are the amplitudes of the electric and magnetic fields at the GPS receiver
