    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)  \[\sim {{10}^{4}}{{m}^{-3}}\]

    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\[{{m}^{3}}\]. \[{{N}_{\max }}=\frac{{{f}_{c}}^{2}}{81}=\frac{(10\times {{10}^{6}})}{81}=1.2\times {{10}^{12}}{{m}^{-3}}\]
