Q160 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2022 (19 Jul Shift 2) · Physics

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

  • A
    Power radiated from a linear antenna is directly proportional to square of antenna length
  • Correct answer
    B
    Power radiated decreases with increasing frequency.
  • C
    Antenna should have size comparable to the wavelength of the signal
  • D
    Effective power radiated by a long wavelength baseband signal is small

Solution

We have
$\mathrm{P} \propto \frac{\mathrm{l}^2}{\lambda^2}$
So (a) is true
$\text {as, } \mathrm{P} \propto-\Rightarrow \mathrm{P} \propto \mathrm{f}$
So, (b) is false and (d) is true as, length of antenna $\geq \frac{\lambda_{\mathrm{C}}}{4}$ So, (c) is true

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