Modern Physics 7 Question 25

26. A TV transmission tower has a height of 140m and the height of the receiving antenna is 40m. What is the maximum distance upto which signals can be broadcasted from this tower in LOS (Line of Sight) mode? (Take, radius of earth =6.4×106m ).

(a) 65km

(b) 80km

(c) 40km

(d) 48km

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Maximum distance of transmission is given by

d=2RhT+2RhR

where, hT= height of transmitter, =140m,

hR= height of receiver =40m and 

R= radius of earth =6.4×106m

Substituting values, we get

d=2×6.4×106(140+40)=65km
