What is space wave propagation?

उत्तर

Space wave propagation: When the radio waves from the transmitting antenna propagate along the space surrounding the earth to reach the receiving antenna, either
directly or after reflection from the ground or in the troposphere, the wave propagation is called Space wave propagation.

  2. 24 km
  3. 55 km
  4. 50 km

The maximum frequency for reflection of sky waves from a certain layer of the ionosphere is found to be fmax = 9(Nmax)1/2, where Nmax is the maximum electron density at that layer of the ionosphere. On a certain day, it is observed that signals of frequencies higher than 5 MHz are not received by reflection from the F1 layer of the ionosphere while signals of frequencies higher than 8 MHz are not received by reflection from the F2 layer of the ionosphere. Estimate the maximum electron densities of the F1 and F2 layers on that day.
