🔍 Key Concepts

• Geographic range of visibility of a light depends on the light’s height and the observer’s height of eye, not just how ‘clear’ the weather is • Use the distance to the horizon formula to estimate how far away you can see an object of known height • Check typical nominal range vs geographic range on Light Lists and charts

💭 Think About

• Think about how you would calculate the maximum distance you could see a light if you know both your height of eye on the vessel and the charted height of Chesapeake Light • Ask yourself: in exceptionally clear visibility, which limit usually controls how far you can see—nominal range (brightness) or geographic range (curvature of the earth)? • Consider which option best matches a realistic geographic range for an offshore light structure of Chesapeake Light’s approximate height

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm you are using geographic range, not luminous/nominal range, for ‘exceptionally clear’ conditions • Make sure you conceptually add the observer’s horizon distance and the light’s horizon distance when estimating maximum visibility • Eliminate choices that seem too short or too long compared with a typical light structure visible just over the horizon from an offshore vessel’s bridge
