Question:medium

If the wavelength of the signal to be transmitted by an antenna is increased by \(2\) times, then the effective power radiated by the antenna

Show Hint

For an antenna, \[ P\propto \nu^2 \] and since \[ \nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}, \] \[ P\propto \frac{1}{\lambda^2}. \] So if wavelength doubles, \[ P \rightarrow \frac{P}{4}. \]
