The wave take 0.12 to reach the satellite. Calculate the height of the orbit of the communications satellite

Sagot :

Answer:

x = 3.6 10⁷ m

Explanation:

The speed of an electromagnetic wave is constant, in a vacuum its value is    c = 3 10⁸ m / s, this speed decreases when entering a material medium,

         v = c / n

where n is the refractive index, but in this case the refractive index of air is n = 1.00002. The refractive index of a vacuum is n = 1, so we can assume that the change in velocity is negligible.

For the calculation we can use the relations of the uniform motion

        v = x / t

        x = v t

let's calculate

        x = 3 10⁸ 0.12

        x = 3.6 10⁷ m
