प्रश्न
Explain with the help of a diagram how long distance communication can be achieved by ionospheric reflection of radio waves.
उत्तर
In the ionosphere of the Earth’s atmosphere, there are a large number of charged particles (ions). The ionosphere is situated about 65 km − 400 km above the surface of the Earth. The ionization of molecules occurs due to the absorption of the ultraviolet rays and high energy radiation from the Sun. The ionosphere acts as a reflecting layer for certain range of frequencies (3MHz-30MHz). The transmitting antenna sends the EM signals of this frequency range towards the ionosphere. When the EM waves strikes the ionosphere, it is reflected back to the Earth. A receiving antenna at a remote location on the Earth receives these reflected signals.
