    A geostationary satellite orbits around the earth in a circular orbit of radius 36000 km. Then, the time period of a satellite orbiting a few hundred kilometres above the earth?s surface \[({{R}_{\text{Earth}}}=6400\,km)\] will approximately be [IIT-JEE (Screening) 2002]

    A) 1/2 h

    B)                      1 h

    C)   2 h    

    D)   4 h

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

         \[\frac{{{T}_{2}}}{{{T}_{1}}}={{\left( \frac{{{r}_{2}}}{{{r}_{1}}} \right)}^{3/2}}\,\Rightarrow \,{{T}_{2}}=24\,{{\left( \frac{6400}{36000} \right)}^{3/2}}\cong 2\,hour\]
