T.V. transmission tower at a particular ...

T.V. transmission tower at a particular station has a height of 160 m.
(a) What is the coverage range ?
(b) How much population is covered by transmission, if the average population density around the tower is 1200 per `km^(2)` ?
(c ) What should be the height of tower to double the coverage range

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Coverage range `d= sqrt(2Rh)`
`= sqrt(2 xx 6400 xx 10^(3) xx 160m)= 45.454 km.`
