Question:

The height of a TV tower is 180 m. To what distance the transmission can be made from this tower, if the radius of earth is $6.4 × 10^6 m$?

Options:

18 km

90 km

48 km

64 km

Correct Answer:

48 km

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 48 km

The distance (d) on the horizon,

$d=\sqrt{2Rh}$    [h = height of tower]

$=\sqrt{2×(6.4×10^6)×180}$

$≃4.8×10^4m=48km$
