Question 4:

A TV transmitting antenna is 98 m high, and the receiving antenna is at ground level. If the radius of the earth is 6400 km, the surface area covered by the transmitting antenna is approximately:

Options:

  • (1) 1240 km\(^2\)

  • (3) 4868 km\(^2\)
  • (4) 3942 km\(^2\)
Correct Answer: (4) 3942 km\(^2\)
View Solution




Step 1: Use the formula for surface area covered.

- Maximum distance covered \( d = \sqrt{2Rh_T} \).

- Surface area \( A = \pi d^2 \approx 2\pi Rh_T \).

Step 2: Substitute the values.
\[ A = 2 \cdot 3.14 \cdot 6400 \cdot 98 \cdot 10^{-3}. \] \[ A \approx 3942 \, km^2. \]

Final Answer: Surface area covered = \( 3942 \, km^2 \). Quick Tip: For line-of-sight calculations, use the approximate formula \( d = \sqrt{2Rh} \).
