A truck covers a distance of 368 km at a certain speed in 8 hours . How much time would a car take at an average speed which is 18km/hr more than of the speed of the truck to cover a distance which is 16 km more than that travelled by the truck ?

Long range radio transmission is possible when the radio waves are reflected from the ionosphere. For this to happen the frequency of the radio waves must be in the range:

The stars in the sky are all the same distance from Earth.

A truck covers a distance of 376 km at a certain speed in 8 hours . How much time would a car take at an average speed which is 18 kmph more than that of the speed of the truck to cover a distance which is 14 km more than that travelled by the truck ?

Assertion : Electromagentic waves with frequencies more than the cirtical frequency of ionosphere cannot be used for communication using sky wave propagation. Reason : The refractive index of the ionosphere becomes very high for frequencies higher than the critical frequency .

The maximum fequency for reflection of sky waves from a certain layer bof the ionosphere is found to be f_(max) =9(N_(max))^(1//2) , Where N _max is the maximum electron density at that layer of the ionosphere.On a certain day it is observed that signals of frequencies higher than 5 MHz are not received by reflection from the F_(1) layer of the ionosphere while signals of frequencies higher than 8 MHz are not received by reflection from the F_(2) layer of the ionosphere. Estimate the maximum electron densities of the F_(1) and F_(2) layers on that day.

The highest frequency of radio waves which the when sent at some angle towards the ionosphere , gets reflected from ionosphere and returns to earth is called ……. .

If f c is the critical frequency of radio waves for reflection by the ionosphere and N max is the density of free electrons in the ionosphere
