Question:

Television signals reach us only through the ground waves. The range R related with the transmitter height h is in proportion to

Options:

$h$

$h^{\frac{1}{2}}$

$h^{-\frac{1}{2}}$

$h^{-1}$

Correct Answer:

$h^{\frac{1}{2}}$

Explanation:

Range, $R+\sqrt{2hr}$ where r is the radius of earth so $R ∝ h^{\frac{1}{2}}$
