The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Maximum distance, d=2hRd=\sqrt{2hR} =2×100×8×106=40×103 m=40 km=\sqrt{2\times100\times8\times10^{6}}=40\times10^{3}\,m=40\,km

  2. Public Switched Telephone network
  3. Intranet and Extranet
  4. Television

Types Of Communication Systems:

Turning on Signal specification or technology, the communication system is categorized as follows:

  1. Analog technology communicates data as electronic signals of differing frequencies or amplitude. For instance Broadcast and telephone transmission.
  2. In Digital technology, the data are created and processed in two states: High (represented as 1) and Low (represented as 0). Also this technology stores and transmits data in the form of 1's and 0's.
