What should be the height of transmitting antenna if the T.V. telecast is to cover of a radius of `128 km`?
Radius of earth` = 6.4 xx 10^(6) m`.

A

256 m

B

640 m

C

2500 m

D

1280 m

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`d=sqrt(2hR) therefore h=d^2/(2R)`
`=(128xx128xx10^6)/(2xx6.4xx10^6)`=1280 m
