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.
