🔍 Key Concepts

• Geographic range vs. luminous range of a light • Using the height of eye and height of light to find distance to the horizon • Interpreting and using the Light Lists/Coast Pilots tables for range

💭 Think About

• How do you combine the distance to the horizon from your eye and the distance to the horizon from the light to get the geographic range? • Which table in the Light List/Coast Pilots gives you the distance for a given height in feet or meters? • Once you find the geographic range from the tables, which of the answer choices is closest to that value?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you are using geographic range tables, not luminous range or nominal range information • Confirm that you are using the correct height of eye (37 ft / 11.3 m) and the correct height of the light from the publication • After adding the two horizon distances, check that your final distance is reasonable for a major coastal lighthouse (not too small, not unrealistically large)
