Question
State three components of space wave propagation.
Solution
The space wave has three components:
(a) Direct wave : Along path (a), radio waves reach receiving antenna directly.
(b) Ground reflected wave: The radio waves reach the receiving antenna after reflection
from ground.
(c)Tropospheric wave: The radio waves reach the receiving antenna after reflection from
troposphere

Two waves A and B of frequencies 2 MHz and 3 MHz, respectively are beamed in the same direction for communication via sky wave. Which one of these is likely to travel longer distance in the ionosphere before suffering total internal reflection?
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.
