the uplink frequency is a tiny fraction of signal transmitted from the earth...the satellite regenerates and amplifies it an transmits it to earth at a different frequency..
This allows it to effectively receive and re-transmit information without risk of overlap or mixed reception with the received signal
Isn't the uplink the signal transmitted from earth? Which frequency is higher and why?

c)i) Ir/I= 4/225
then
c)ii) Intensity = I*e(-48*2*x).As the ultrasound will be attenuated going from the surface to the boundary and from the boundary to surface, so it moves twice the distance. Thats the intensity that comes at the barrier, 4/225 of that is reflected back. so
(4/225)*I*e(-48*2*x)=0.012*I
cancel I with I
ln (0.012/0.018) = -48*2*x
x=4.22x10^-3 m
=0.42cm

yea ...i said the same....the satellite regenertes it back to earth as downlink after amplification ..
The satellite gets power from solar cell. So, the transmitter (satelite) doesnt consist of a higher power. On the other hand, the ground station (Earth) can have much higher power. As we want less attenuation and better signalto-noise ratio, lower frequency is more suitable for downlink and higher frequency is commonly used for uplink
sorry for being ambigous

View attachment 60306 Can someone explain me the b part
u knw Debrogleis wavelength ...every moving particle has a wavelength associated with it ...photons incident on the surface have a wavelength of 590nm.....
and this wavelength is inversely proportional to momentum of photons
thus λ = h/ p where h is plancks constant = 6.63*10^-34
therfore momentum of one one photon would b = 6.63*10^-34 / 590nm = 1.12*10^-27 kgm/s
since we need the total momentum of photons ...we multiply it with the no. of photons
(9.5*10^15) * (1.12*10^-27) = 1.06*10^-11 kgm/s

In part ii, don't we have to convert power into energy first??? And why are we subtracting the masses? We don't consider the overall total mass? And please explain 2 as well. SOMEONE image.jpg

Thanks a million

how is no of photons = power / energy of photon?
Each photon contributes to the total power, so power =n * energy of photon
it also depends on rate so the question here matters. bc its not a rule u have to know
Is the power produced in a cell equal to the the total power in the circuit?
Its equal to current through main circuit or cell * Potential difference across cell.

By p.d across cell you mean the terminal p.d right?
