A TV tower has a height \(72 \mathrm{~m}\). The maximum distance upto which TV transmission can be received is (Take, radius of the earth as \(\left.6.4 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m}\right)\)
- A 27.52 km
- B 34.25 km
- C 30.35 km
- D 25.12 km
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 30.35 km
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The height of TV tower, \(h=72 \mathrm{~m}\) The maximum distance upto which transmission can be received, \(d=\sqrt{2 R h}=\sqrt{2 \times 6.4 \times 10^6 \times 72}=30.35 \mathrm{~km}\)
