Geo-stationary satellite is at …... height from surface of Earth.

A

`3.5860 xx 10^7`

B

`4.2260 xx 10^7`

C

`3.5860 xx 10^6`

D

`4.2260 xx 10^6`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`implies` The distance of goestationary satellite form centre of earth `r = 42260 xx 10^3` m
`:.` Height from the surface of earth
`h = r - Re`
`:. h = 42260xx10^3 - 6400 xx 10^3`
`:. h = 35860 xx 10^3m`
`:.h = 3.5860 xx 10^7 m`
