A satellite revolves in the geostationary orbit but in a direction east to west. The time interval between its successive passing about a point on the equator is:A. `48 hrs`B. `24 hrs`C. `12 hrs`D. never

Answer» Correct Answer - c
For geostationary satallite when orbiliting west to east `omega_(s)=omega_(e)`
but when orbiting east to west
`T=(2pir)/(omega_(s)+omega_(e))impliesT=(2pir)/(2omega_(e))impliesT=24/2`
`T=12h`
