Assuming sufficient transmission
power, the maximum range of a ground radar with a pulse repetition frequency of
450 pulses per second is: (Given: velocity of light is 300 000 km/second)
Maximum Theoretical Range = c / 2 x
Pulse Repetition Frequency
= 300,000 / 2 x 450
= 300,000 / 900
= 333 km
Note that the speed of light has been
given in Kilometres per second, therefore the calculated answer will be given
in kilometres. Wherever possible use the speed of light that corresponds with
the given answers.
