Statement -1 : Geostationary satellites ...

Statement -1 : Geostationary satellites may be setup in equatorial plane in orbits of any radius more than earth's radius.
Statement - 2 : Geostationary satellite have period of revolution of 24hrs.

A

Statement -1 is true, statement-2 is true and statement -2 is correct explanation for statement -1.

B

Statement -1 is true, statement -2 is true and statement -2 is correct explanation for statement -1.

C

Statement -1 is true, statement -2 is false.

D

Statement -1 is false, statement -2 is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Geostationary satellite must have radius such that
`(GMm)/(r^(2))=mxx omega^(2)r rArr omega = (2r)/(24 hrs.)`
which is fixed.
