At a particular station, the TV transmission tower has a height of $100\,m$. To triple its coverage range, height of the tower should be increased to ......$m$
Answerd
Let $d$ be range
$d ^{2}=( h + R )^{2}- R ^{2}$
$= h ^{2}+ R ^{2}+2 RH - R ^{2}$
$d ^{2}= h ^{2}+2 Rh$
$\text { as } R \gg \gg \text { h then }$
$d \approx \sqrt{2 Rh } . \ldots . \text { (1) }$
Now, if coverage is to be increased $3$ times
$3 d =\sqrt{2 Rh ^{\prime}} \ldots \text {. (2) }$
Divide $2$ and $1 \frac{3 d }{ d }=\sqrt{\frac{2 R h^{\prime}}{2 R h}}$
$9=\frac{ h ^{\prime}}{ h }$
$9\,h = h \text { ' }$
$\text { If } h =100 m \text { then tower of height } 900 m \text { is } \text { required }$

If the sum of the heights of transmitting and receiving antennas in the line of sight of communication is fixed at $160\, {m}$, then the maximum range of LOS communication is $....{km}$
(Take radius of Earth $=6400\, {km}$ )
Answerc
${h}_{{T}}={h}_{{R}}=160 \ldots \text { (i) }$
${d}=\sqrt{2 {Rh}_{{T}}}+\sqrt{2 {Rh}_{{R}}}$
${d}=\sqrt{2 {R}}\left[\sqrt{{h}_{{T}}}+\sqrt{{h}_{{R}}}\right]$
${d}=\sqrt{2 {R}}[\sqrt{{x}}+\sqrt{160-{x}}]$
$\frac{{d}({d})}{{dx}}=0$
$\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{{x}}}+\frac{1(-1)}{2 \sqrt{160-{x}}}=0$
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{{x}}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{160-{x}}}$
${x}=80\, {m}$
${d}_{\max }=\sqrt{2 \times 6400}\left[\sqrt{\frac{80}{1000}}+\sqrt{\frac{20}{1000}}\right]$
$=\frac{80 \sqrt{2} \times 2 \sqrt{80}}{10 \sqrt{10}}$
$=8 \times 2 \times \sqrt{2} \times 2 \sqrt{2}=64\, {km}$

The maximum amplitude for an amplitude modulated wave is found to be $12\, {V}$ while the minimum amplitude is found to be $3\, {V}$. The modulation index is $0.6\, {x}$ where ${x}$ is $....\, .$
Answerb
As we know
$A_{\max }=A_{c}+A_{m}=12$
$A_{\max }=A_{c}-A_{m}=3$
$\Rightarrow A_{c}=\frac{15}{2}\, \& \,A_{m}=\frac{9}{2}$
$\text { Modulation index }=\frac{A_{m}}{A_{c}}=\frac{9 / 2}{15 / 2}=0.6$
$\Rightarrow x=1$

In a communication system operating at wavelength $800\,nm,$ only one percent of source frequency is available as signal bandwidth. The number of channels accommodated for transmitting $TV$ signals of band width $6\,MHz$ are (Take velocity of light $c = 3 \times 10^8\,m/s,\,\,h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34}\,J-s$ )

$3.75\times 10^6$
- B
$3.86\times 10^6$
- ✓
$6.25\times 10^5$
- D
$4.87\times 10^5$
AnswerCorrect option: C. $6.25\times 10^5$
c
$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=$ $ \frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{8 \times 10^{-7}}$ $=\frac{3}{8} \times 10^{15} \mathrm{Hz}$
$ \therefore \quad \mathrm{n}=\frac{(0.01) \mathrm{f}}{6 \times 10^{6}}$ $=\frac{\frac{3}{8} \times 10^{13}}{6 \times 10^{6}} $
$=\frac{1}{16} \times 10^{7}=6.25 \times 10^{5} $

Analysis of graph says
$(1)$ Amplitude varies as $8-10\, \mathrm{V}$ or $9 \pm 1$
$(2)$ Two time period $100$ $\mu s$ (signal wave) and $8\, \mu s$ (carrier wave)
Hence signal is $\left[9 \pm 1 \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{T}_{1}}\right)\right] \sin \left(\frac{2 \pi \mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{T}_{2}}\right)$
$=9 \pm 1 \sin \left(2 \pi \times 10^{4} t\right) \sin 2.5 \pi \times 10^{5} t$
