    In short wave communication waves of which of the following frequencies will be reflected back by the ionospheric layer having electron density 1011 per m3?

    A)  2 MHz    

    B)                        10 MHz               

    C)                        12 MHz               

    D)        18 MHz

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The perceived frequency of sky wave for reflection from an ionospheric layer is \[\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\] where n is the number density of electrons/ \[\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{2k}{m}}\]. Given,       \[\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{3k}{m}}\] \[\therefore \]   \[{{v}_{c}}=9\times {{({{10}^{11}})}^{\frac{1}{2}}}\] \[=2.8MHz\approx 2MHz\]
