A transmitting antenna has a height of 40 m and the height of the receiving antenna is 30 m. What is the maximum distance between them for line-of-sight communication? The radius of the earth is 6.4xx10^(6)m

A transmitting antenna at the top of a tower has a height 32 m and that of the receiving antenna is 100 m. What is the maximum distance between them for satisfactory communication in LOS mode? Given radius of earth 6.4 xx10^(6) m

Two submarines are approaching each other in a calm sea. The first submarine travels at a speed of 36 km h^-1 and the other at 54 km h^-1 relative to the water. The first submarine sends a sound signal (sound waves in water are also called sonar) at a frequency of 2000 Hz. (a) At what frequency is this signal received by the second submarine ? (b) The signal is reflected from the second submarine. At what frequency is this signal received by the first submarine. Take the speed of the sound wave in water to be 1500 m s^-1 .

A telescope has an objective of diameter 60 cm.The focal lengths of the objective and eyepiece are 2.0 m and 1.0 cm respectively. The telescope is directed to view two distant almost point sources of light, (e.g., two stars of a binary) The sources are roughly at the same distance = ( =10^4 light year) along the line of sight but are separated transverse to the line of sight by a distance of 10^10 m. Will the telescope resolve the two objects i.e. will it see two distant stars?

A source of sound emitting a 1200 Hz note travels along a straight line at a speed of 170 m s^-1 . A detector is placed at a distance of 200 m from the line of motion of the source. (a) Find the frequency of sound received by the detector at the instant when the source gets closest to it. (b) Find the distance between the source and the detector at the instant it detects the frequency 1200 Hz. Velocity of sound in air = 340 m s^-1 .

A source S and a detector D are placed at a distance d apart. A big cardboard is placed at a distance sqrt2d from the source and the detector as shown in figure. The source emits a wave of wavelength = d/2 which is received by the detector after reflection from the cardboard. It is found to be in phase with the direct wave received from the source. By what minimum distance should the cardboard be shifted away so that the reflected wave becomes out of phase with the direct wave ?
