In sky wave mode of propagation, why is the frequency range of transmitting signals restricted to less than 30 MHz?
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.
