Physics Question on communication systems

If the height of the tower used for LOS communication is increased by 21%, the percentage change in range is?

A

5%

B

10%

C

15%

D

12%

Answer

10%

Explanation

Solution

d=2Rh,dhd=\sqrt{2Rh}, d\propto \sqrt{h}
d1.21h=1.1hd'\propto \sqrt{1.21h} = 1.1h
Percentage change in d = 10%

So, the correct option is (B): 10%
