A radar has a power of 10 kW and is operating at a frequency of 20 GHz. It is located on the top of a hill of height 500 m. Calculate the maximum distance upto which it can detect object located on the surface of the Earth.(Radius of Earth = 6.4 × 106 m)

Answer»

Given: h = 500 m, R = 6.4 × 106 m

To find: Maximum distance or range (d)

Formula: d = \(\sqrt{2Rh}\)

Calculation: From formula,

d = \(\sqrt{2Rh}\) = \(\sqrt{2\times64\times10^6\times500}\)

= 8 × 104

= 80 km
