What did you all get for the tangential motion question? And also for the lens question did you have to talk about whether it was real or virtual etc. because i forgot to add that?

um what else
what did everyone get for the probe question?
I said if the motion was too slow then the satellite would be pulled towards Earth because of the strong gravitational attraction, and if it was too fast then the satellite wouldn't be able to scan the Earth because it would be moving too fast?

oh great i wrote the first part but not the second part (i said if it was too slow it would accelerate towards the earth, if it was too fast it would be ejected outward, complete guess lol)
Went good, only one I wasn't sure on was the one about LEOs, what did you get?
I got wave B. Since the wave is reflected off of the ionosphere, the satellite does not have to be in a fixed position over the earth which means its ideal for low polar satellites which are continually changing position. Wave A wouldn't be much use as it gets scattered in the atmosphere. Might be wrong. This was one of the questions I struggled w/ again.
