Determine what would be the net power


Big radio telescopes, similar to the one in Arecibo, Puerto Rico can detect very weak signals. Assume that one radio telescope is sensitive adequate to detect a signal which lays down just 0.81 pW of power on an area of 7.0 x 10^16 m2. (i) Determine what would be the net power which would be received by the antenna, supposing that its diameter is 330 m? (ii) What would be the power of a source at 21000 ly distance from Earth which could give such a signal? A light-year is the distance light travels in 1-year.
