At a particular station, the TV transmission tower has a height of 100 m. To triple its coverage range, height of the tower should be increased to
  1. (A)200 m
  2. (B)300 m
  3. (C)600 m
  4. (D)900 m✓ Correct

Answer: (D)

Solution

The range of a transmission tower is where R is Earth's radius and h is tower height. Range is proportional to . To triple the range, we need . Dividing: , so . Thus m.
