Question
Why is it not possible to use sky waves for transmission of TV signals?
Solution
Transmission of TV signal is done with the help of radio waves of frequency ranging between 80 MHz and 200 MHz. The transmission is not possible via sky wave because the ionosphere doesn't reflect these waves back to earth. Waves of frequencies ranging between 1500 kHz and 30 MHz can be used for communication via sky wave.
