The radar system of a navy cruiser transmits at a wavelength of 1.4 cm, from a circular antenna with a diameter of 2.7 m. At a range of 7.8 km, what is the smallest distance in meters that two speedboats can be from each other and still be resolved as two separate objects by the radar system?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Distance will be 49.34 m

Explanation:

We have given wavelength [tex]\lambda =1.4cm =0.014m[/tex]

Diameter of the antenna d = 2.7 m

Range L = 7.8 km = 7800 m

We have to find the smallest distance hat two speedboats can be from each other and still be resolved as two separate objects D

We know that distance is given by [tex]D=\frac{L1.22\lambda }{d}=\frac{7800\times 1.22\times 0.014}{2.7}=49.3422m[/tex]

So distance D will be 49.34 m
