An antenna broadcasts 600 MHz waves.  a. What is the wavelength of these waves? b. You are standing 1.0 m from the antenna with an instrument that can detect the intensity of these waves.  Describe as quantitatively as you can how the intensity you detect changes as you move away from the antenna to a distance of 10.0 metres. A second antenna broadcasting identical 600 MHz waves is placed 4.0 metres from the first one.  c. What is the phase difference between these two waves at the midpoint between the antennas?  d. You walk around the two antennas in a circle of radius 20 m with its centre at the midpoint between the two antennas.  How many maxima will you detect?
