Q78 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (26 Aug Shift 2) · Physics

A transmitting antenna at top of a tower has a height of 50 m, and the height of receiving antenna is, 80 m. What is the range of communication for the line of sight (LOS) mode?
[use radius of the earth=6400 km]

  • A
    80.2 km
  • B
    144.1 km
  • Correct answer
    C
    57.28 km
  • D
    45.5 km

Solution

The formula of range of the antenna is given by the formula,=2Rh1+2Rh2., here R is the radius of the earth then, putting the values, the range =57.28 km.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
