    For sky wave propagation of a \[10\text{ }MHz\]signal, what should be the maximum electron density in ionosphere

    A) \[\tilde{\ }1.2\times {{10}^{12}}{{m}^{-3}}\] 

    B)        \[\tilde{\ }{{10}^{6}}{{m}^{-3}}\]

    C) \[\tilde{\ }{{10}^{14}}{{m}^{-3}}\]          

    D)        \[\tilde{\ }{{10}^{22}}{{m}^{-3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    If maximum electron density of the ionosphere is \[{{N}_{\max }}\]per \[{{m}^{3}}\]then the critical frequency \[{{f}_{c}}\] is given by \[{{f}_{c}}=9{{({{N}_{\max }})}^{1/2}}\] \[\Rightarrow 10\times {{10}^{6}}=9{{(N)}^{1/2}}\Rightarrow N=1.2\times {{10}^{12}}{{m}^{-3}}\]
