An antenna is mounted on a 400 m tall building. What will be the wavelength of signal that can be radiated effectively by the transmission tower upto a range of 44 km?
  1. (A)75.6 m
  2. (B)605 m✓ Correct
  3. (C)302 m
  4. (D)37.8 m

Answer: (B)

Solution

An antenna radiates effectively when its length equals a quarter wavelength, so the effective height is . The line-of-sight range of such a tower is with m. Setting km,
Then m.
