Q

If the visibility is 11 miles, what is the luminous range of New Point Comfort Spit Light "4"?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Luminous range vs. nominal range on a Light List chart • Using a luminous range diagram when given the meteorological visibility • Difference between geographic range (based on height of eye and light) and luminous range (based on candlepower and visibility)

💭 Think About

• Look up New Point Comfort Spit Light "4" in the Light List or exam table and identify its nominal range first • Use the given visibility (11 miles) to find the corresponding luminous range on the luminous range diagram for that nominal range • Compare the diagram result to the closest multiple‑choice distance provided

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using luminous range, not geographic range, for this question • Make sure you start from the light’s nominal range value, not from the 11‑mile visibility number • Verify you are reading the correct curve and scale on the luminous range diagram before matching to the answer choices
