In communication system, the range for line of sight propagation in case of earth is 'd', for the height of antenna (h). If 'h' is doubled then the new range is
  1. $\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\sqrt{2}}$
  2. $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\mathrm{~d}}$
  3. $\frac{\mathrm{d}}{2}$
  4. $\sqrt{2} \mathrm{~d}$

Solution

We know, $d^{\wedge} 2 \alpha h$ d $\propto$ sqrt(h) so when height is doubled range is sqrt(2) times original value ~
