A TV transmission tower of height \(h\) covers a range of distance \(d\). By how much will be the range change, if the height is increased to \(3 / 2 \mathrm{~h} ?\)

  1. A \(\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} d\)
  2. B \(\left(\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}-1\right) d\)
  3. C \(\left(\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}+1\right) d\)
  4. D d
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\left(\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}-1\right) d\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If a tower of height \(h\) covers a range of distance \(d\), then \(d=\sqrt{2 h R}\). where, \(R\) is the radius of the earth. when \(h^{\prime}=\frac{3}{2} h\), then \(d^{\prime}=\sqrt{2 h^{\prime} R^{\prime}}\) \(=\sqrt{2 \times \frac{3}{2} h R}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{2} d}\)…
