Radar uses radio waves of a wavelength of 2.5 m . The time interval for one radiation pulse is 100 times larger than the time of one oscillation; the time between pulses is 10 times larger than the time of one pulse. What is the shortest distance to an object that this radar can detect

The minimum distance to the object that the radar can detect is 124.995 m

Explanation:

Here, we are to calculate the shortest distance to an object the radar in the question can detect.

Mathematically;

v = c/λ

Where v is the frequency, c is the speed of light and λ is the wave length

Thus;

v = (3 * 10^8)/2.5 = 1.2 * 10^8 Hz

Mathematically, the time period

t = 1/v = 1/(1.2 * 10^8) = 0.000000008333 = 8.333 * 10^-9 sec

From the question, we are told that the transmitting time is 100 times a single oscillation

Transmitting time = 100 * one oscillation

Hence Transmitting time = 100 * 8.33 * 10^-9 = 8.33 * 10-7

Mathematically;

Minimum distance =( Transmitting time * speed of light)/2 =

(8.33 * 10^-7 * 3 * 10^8)/2 = 124.995 m

i don't know, you need to give me some answers.

explanation:

kepler used the data from tycho blahe (his mentor) to construct the laws of planetary motion.
