A transmitting antenna at top of a tower has a height of 50m50m, and the height of receiving antenna is, 80m80m. What is the range of communication for the line of sight (LOS) mode?
[use radius of the earth=6400km]= 6400km ]

Options

  1. A80.2km80 . 2km
  2. B144.1km144 . 1km
  3. C57.28km57 . 28km
  4. D45.5km45 . 5km

Correct answer

C. 57.28km57 . 28km

Step-by-step solution

The formula of range of the antenna is given by the formula,=2Rh1+2Rh2= \sqrt{2R{h}_{1}} + \sqrt{2R{h}_{2}}., here RR is the radius of the earth then, putting the values, the range =57.28km= 57 . 28km.
