1. What is the energy of a photon at 150 kHz?

You didn't answer the other questions. How much power does a good radio
need to get a listenable signal?

Here's some numbers

input impedance 50 ohms
Noise Figure 5 db
Bandwidth 6 kHz
signal to noise ratio 40 dB

(This would be what some of the newsgroups listeners here would want if
they had one of their pretty damn good radios listening to a broadcast
station. Really picky ones would probably want a 8-15 kHz bandwidth
with a 60 dB s/N ratio).

There are equations out there that will give you how much power
you need for this signal...


I guess the dynamic range needs to be at least 140 dB [to match human
ear's loudness perception] and bandwidth at least 40 KHz [to match
human's pitch perception].

I am not sure about the input impedance or noise figure.
