Consider 2 satellites A and B having time periods 16 hours and 1 hour, respectively. What is the ratio of the radius of their orbits? Correct Answer 64:1
The time periods (T) of a satellite revolving around the earth of radius R and at height h is: T = 2 x pi x 1/2 Hence, the time period is directly proportional to (R + h)3/2 The ratio of orbits is, therefore, 64:1.
