Two 1.0M-Hz radio antennas emitting in-phase are separated by 600m along a north-south line. A radio receiver placed 2.0 km east is equidistant from both the transmitting antennas and picks up a fairly strong signal. How far north should that receiver by moved if it is again to detect a signal nearly as strong. non-paraxial

Hi. Can someone please help me with this conceptual question? Consider a circuit consisting of a light bulb and an inductor. If the frequency of the generator is increased, does the intensity of the light bulb increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain. Thank you.
The illumination at a point is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of the point from the light source and directly proportional to the intensity of the light source. If two light sources are 30 feet apart and their intensities are 70 and 50 respectively, at what point will the sum of their illumination be minimu
