A projectile is fired from level ground at an angle $\theta $ above the horizontal. The elevation angle $\phi $ of the highest point as seen from the launch point is related to $\theta $ by the relation

  • A

    $\tan \,\phi  = \frac{1}{4}\,\tan \,\theta $

  • B

    $\tan \,\phi  = \tan \,\theta $

  • C

    $\tan \,\phi  = \frac{1}{2}\,\tan \,\theta $

  • D

    $\tan \,\phi  = 2\,\tan \,\theta $
