Question on: JAMB Physics - 1993

Radio waves emitted from an antenna are picked up by a radar after reflection from an aircraft in 4 x 10-3S. How far is the aircraft from the antenna? [c = 3 x 108ms-1 ]

A
6.0 x 102ms-1
B
1.2 x 103km
C
3.0 x 103km
D
6.0 x 10 5km
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D

Time = 1 x 4 x 10-3sec

distance = velocity x time

= 3 x 108 x 4 x 10-3

= 6 x 105m
