In short wave communication, waves of which of the following frequencies will be reflected back by the ionospheric layer having electron density 101110^{11} per m3\mathrm{m}^3 ?

Options

  1. A2MHz2 \mathrm{MHz}
  2. B10MHz10 \mathrm{MHz}
  3. C12MHz12 \mathrm{MHz}
  4. D18MHz18 \mathrm{MHz}.

Correct answer

A. 2MHz2 \mathrm{MHz}

Step-by-step solution

We know that the artificial frequency of a sky wave for reflection from an ionospheric layer of the atmosphere is given by, vc=9N1/2v_c=9 N^{1 / 2} where nn is the number density of electrons /m3/ \mathrm{m}^3. It is given that N=1011/m3N=10^{11} / \mathrm{m}^3 \therefore \quad v_c=9 \times\left(10^{11}\right)^{1 / 2}=2.8 ×\times10^6  Hz=\mathrm{~Hz}=2.8 MHz. \mathrm{MHz} \text{. }Hence the wave of frequency 2MHz2 \mathrm{MHz} will be reflected back.
