AIIMS2011PhysicsCommunication System
Assertion : In the transmission of long distance radio signals, short wave band is used. Reason : In shorter wavelength, attenuation is very less.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false.
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
A. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
Step-by-step solution
The sky waves are the radio waves used for very long distance radio communication at medium and high frequencies (i.e., shortwave band). In shorter wavelength, attenuation is very less.
