Question
A quarter-wave monopole radio antenna (also called a Marconi antenna) consists of a long conductor of one quarter the length of the transmitted wavelength. The lower end of the antenna is connected to a conducting ground plane (often simply the Earth) which reflects the transmitted signal, creating an effective antenna length of a half wavelength. (a) What must be the height of the antenna (in m) for a radio station broadcasting at 514 kHz

Answer:
145.91 m
Explanation:
Data provided in the the question:
Wavelength of radio wave,
Here, c is speed of radio wave in air = 3 × 10⁸ m/s
f is the frequency = 514 kHz = 514 × 10³ Hz
Thus,
Wavelength = (3 × 10⁸) ÷ (514 × 10³) m
or
Wavelength = 583.65 m
Thus,
The height of the antenna will be
=
= 583.65 ÷ 4 m
= 145.91 m
