What is the value of frequency at which electromagnetic wave must be propagated for the D-region of atmosphere to have a refractive index of 0 . 5 ? Electron density for D-region is 400 electrons/cc
Options
- A200   kHz
- B104.2 kHz
- C208.4 kHz
- D312.6 kHz
Correct answer
C. 208.4 kHz
Step-by-step solution
Here, N = 400 electrons c/cc = 400 × 10 6 electrons m - 3 μ = 0.5 = 1 - 81.56 N v 2 = 1 - 81.56 × 400 × 10 6 v 2 On solving, v = 208.4 kHz.
