The mode of propagation used by short wave broadcast services having a frequency range from a few MHz up to 30 MHz is

Options

  1. Aground wave
  2. Bspace wave
  3. Csky wave
  4. Dall of these

Correct answer

C. sky wave

Step-by-step solution

Sky wave propagation is used by short wave broadcast services having a frequency range from few MHz up to 30 to 40 MHz Long-distance communication can be achieved by ionosphere reflection of radio waves back towards the earth as shown in Fig. This mode of propagation is called skywave propagation.
