The radio horizon of the transmission of an antenna placed on $20^{\text {th }}$ floor in a shopping mall, where the height of each floor is $2 \mathrm{~m}$ is (Radius of earth is $6.4 \times 10^6 \mathrm{~m}$ )
  1. $22.6 \mathrm{~km}$
  2. $45 \mathrm{~km}$
  3. $36 \mathrm{~km}$
  4. $67.5 \mathrm{~km}$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{r}}=20 \times 2=40 \mathrm{~m} \\ & \mathrm{~d}_{\mathrm{m}}=\sqrt{2 \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{r}} \mathrm{R}}=\sqrt{2 \times 40 \times 6.4 \times 10^6}=22.6 \mathrm{~km}\end{aligned}$
