Explain why are the TV towers made high.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The maximum distance up to which a signal radiated by a TV tower can reach is given by `d = sqrt (2hR)`
where h = Height of TV tower.
Clearly Range of TV signal,` d prop = sqrt(h)` .
So larger the height of TV tower, greater will be its coverage.
