Question
Radio waves from a star, of wavelength 320 m, reach a radio telescope by two separate paths, as shown in the figure below (not drawn to scale). One is a direct path to the receiver, which is situated
on the edge of a cliff by the ocean. The second is by reflection off the water. The first minimum of destructive interference occurs when the star is 0-22.0 above the horizon. Find the height of the
ciff. (Assume no phase change on reflection. The image is not drawn to scale; assume that the height of the radio telescope is negligible compare to the height of the cliff)
