    For sky wave propagation of 10 MHz signal, what should be the minimum electron density in ionosphere?

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

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

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

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

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The critical frequency of sky wave undergoing reflection from a layer of ionosphere is \[{{f}_{c}}=9\sqrt{{{N}_{\max }}}\] where N is electron density per \[{{m}^{3}}.\] \[{{N}_{\max }}=\frac{{{f}_{c}}^{2}}{81}=\frac{{{(10\times {{10}^{6}})}^{2}}}{81}=1.2\times {{10}^{12}}\,{{m}^{-3}}\]
