Question:

What will be the minimum length of antenna required to transmit a radio signal of frequency 10 MHz?

Options:

30 m

15 m

7.5 m

60 m

Correct Answer:

7.5 m

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 7.5 m

The wavelength (λ) of a radio wave is -

$λ=\frac{c}{v}$

v = frequency = $10×10^6Hz$

$∴λ=\frac{3×10^8}{10×10^6}=30m$

$L_{min}=\frac{λ}{4}=\frac{30}{4}=7.5m$
