Question

What should be the height of transmitting antenna and the population covered if the television telecast is to cover a radius of 150 km ? The average population density around the tower is 2000/km² and the value of Re = 6.5 × 10⁶ m

(1) Height = 1731 m

Population Covered = 1413 × 10⁵

(2) Height = 1241

m Population Covered = 7 × 10⁵

(3) Height = 1600 m

Population Covered = 2 × 10⁵

(4) Height = 1800 m

Population Covered = 1413 × 10⁸

Answer 1

Correct option is (1) Height = 1731 m Population Covered = 1413 × 10⁵
