The area covered by a transmitting antenna of height 50 ~m is
Options
- A320 km ^2
- B1440 ~km ^2
- C640 km ^2
- D120 km ^2
Correct answer
C. 640 km ^2
Step-by-step solution
Here, h=50 ~m Area covered = d^2= 2 h R ( d^2=2 h R ) where R=6.4 10^6 ~m (radius of earth) aligned area covered & = 2 h R= 2 50 6.4 10^6 & =640 10^6 ~m ^2=640 km ^2 aligned
