Large radio telescopes like the one in arecibo puerto rico


Large radio telescopes, like the one in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, can detect extremely weak signals. Assume one radio telescope is sensitive enough to detect a signal which lays down only 1.2 pW of power on an area of 4.7 x 1013 m2. (a) What would be the total power that would be received with the antenna, assuming that its diameter is 340 m?(b) What would be the power of a source at 18000ly distance from Earth that could provide such a signal? Alight-year is the distance light travels in one year.
