A transmitting antenna at the top of a hill has a height 72 m and the height of the receiving antenna is 128 m. The maximum distance between them for satisfactory communication in LOS mode is

(Use Radius of earth =6.4×106 m)

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

We do not transmit low frequency signal to long distances because
(a) The size of the antenna should be comparable to signal wavelength which is unreal solution for a signal of longer wavelength.
(b) Effective power radiated by a long wavelength baseband signal would be high.
(c) We want to avoid mixing up signals transmitted by different transmitter simultaneously.
(d) Low frequency signal can be sent to long distances by superimposing with a high frequency wave as well.

Therefore, the most suitable option will be :
