Solution
The signal transmitted from a TV tower cannot be received beyond a certain distance because of the curvature of the earth. The expression for the optimum separation between the receiving and transmitting antenna:
`d = sqrt(2hR)`
d: Optimum separation.
h: Height of the antenna
R - Radius of the curvature of Earth.
