Question:

A 25 m long antenna is mounted on an antenna tower. The height of the antenna tower is 75 m. The wavelength (in meter) of the signal transmitted by this antenna would be :

Show Hint

A practical antenna length is \(\lambda/4\), so \(\lambda = 4l\); the tower height is irrelevant.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

For efficient transmission the antenna length should be about a quarter of the wavelength of the signal: \(l = \frac{\lambda}{4}\).
Antenna length \(l = 25\) m (the 75 m tower height is only a distractor, as the tower just supports the antenna).
\(\lambda = 4l = 4 \times 25 = 100\ \text{m}\).
