You are a NASA mission specialist on your first flight aboard the space shuttle. Thanks to your extensive training in physics, you have been assigned to evaluate the performance of a new radio transmitter on board the International Space Station (ISS). Perched on the shuttle's movable arm, you aim a sensitive detector at the ISS, which is 2.5 km away. You find that the electric-field amplitude of the radio waves coming from the ISS transmitter is 0.37 V/m and that the frequency of the waves is 479 MHz. What is the the intensity (W/m²) of the radio wave at your location? (answer in 4 decimal places) use = 3.1416 Ho = 4 x 10-7 T.m/A c = 3 x 108 m/s == 8.85 x 10-12 C²/Nm²
