Statement-1: Short wave band are used for transmission fo radiowaves to a large distance.
Statement-2: Short waves are reflected from ionosphere.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reasion is false.

D

If assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Short wave (wavelength `30 km` to `30 cm`). These waves are used for radio transmission and for general communication purpose to a longer distance from ionosphere.

Assertion : Short wave bands are used for transmission of radio waves to a large distance. Reason : Short waves are reflected by ionosphere

Electromagnetic waves of frequency ……. are reflected from ionosphere.

Statement 1: Long distance radio broadcasts use short wave bands. Statement 2: Short wavelength signals are reflected by the ionosphere.

Statement 1: In ground wave transmission the radio signals die out after travelling some distance. Statement-2: Radio signals have a very short wavelength and hence are scattered away by the dust particles and molecules of gases in the atmosphere.

Statement-1: Radio waves can be polarised. Statement-2: Sound waves in air are longitudinal in nature.

What is the maximum distance, the radiowaves can cover in a single reflection from ionosphere?

Statement-1 : Electromagnetic waves with frequencies smaller than the critical frequency of ionosphere cannot be used for communications using sky wave propagation. Statement-2: The refractive index of the ionosphere becomes very high for frequenceis higher than the criritcal frequency.
