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" prop sqrt(h)`
Therefore coverage range can be doubled by making height of the tower four times to 640m. So, height of the tower should be increased by 480 m.
