The height of a TV transmitting antenna is 20m. The telecast can cover a radius of

If the area to be covered for TV telecast is doubles then height of transmitting antenna (TV tower) will have to be:

(A) : The area to be covered for T.V. telecast is doubled, then the height of trans - mitting antenna will have to be doubled (R) : For T.V. signal propulation covered is equal to product of population density abd area covered

(A) : Greater is the height of T.V. transmitting antenna, greater is its range. (R) : The range of T.V. transmitting antenna is proportional to square root of its height.

If height of transmitting tower increases by 21% then the area to be covered increases by

Name the type of waves which are used for line of sight (LOS) communication. What is the range of their frequencies? A transmitting antenna at the top of a tower has a height of 20m and the height of the receiving antenna is 45m. Calculate the maximum distance between them for satisfactory communication in LOS mode. (Radius of the Earth = 6.4 xx 10^(6) m)

A TV transmitting antenna is 125 m tall. How much service area this transmitting antenna cover, if the receiving antenna is at the ground level? Radius of earth = 6400 km .

What does the term LOS communication mean? Name the types of waves that are used for this communication. Which of the two height of transmitting antenna and height of receiving antenna can effect the range over which this mode of communication remains effective?
