A 50 MHz sky wave takes 4.04 ms to reach a receiver via re-transmission from a satellite 600 km above earth's surface. Assuming re-transmission time by satellite negligible, find the distance between source and receiver.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
: here
Total time taken
Let x be the distance of satellite from the surface of earth
Total time taken (t)
Let T be the source of electromagnetic waves (i.e. transmitter), R be receiver and S be satellite at locations as shown in figure
Distance between source and receiver
