Q4 / 32 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Communication System

The area of the region covered by the TV broadcast, by a TV tower of 100 m height is (Take, the radius of the earth, Re=6.4×106 m )

  • A
    12.8π×108 km2
  • Correct answer
    B
    1.28π×103 km2
  • C
    0.64π×103 km2
  • D
    1.28 ×103 km2

Solution

Given, the height of the tower,

h=100 m

The radius of the earth, Re=6.4×106 m

Since we know,

the area covered by the TV tower,

A=2πReh

=2π×6.4×106×100

=12.8π×108 m2

=1.28π×103 km2

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