The Light List indicates that a light has a nominal range of 14 miles and is 26 feet high. If the visibility is 14 miles and your height of eye is 20 feet, at which approximate distance will you sight the light?

Correct Answer: Option B — 11.2 miles

Geographic range is the sum of the distance to the horizon for the light (26 ft = 5.9 nm) and the observer (20 ft = 5.2 nm), totaling 11.1 nm. Since visibility is 14 nm, the light is limited by its geographic range, making 11.2 nm the closest approximate answer.
