Assertion: The Microwave propagation is ...

Assertion: The Microwave propagation is better than the sky wave propagation.
Reason: Microwaves have frequency `100` to `3001 GHz, which have very good directional properties.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Microwaves have got good directional properties. Due to it, the microwaves can be directed as beam signal in a particular direction, much better than radio waves, because microwaves do not bend around the corners of any obstacle coming in their way.
