What is sky wave ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Sky Wave**: Sky waves are a type of radio wave that is transmitted from a transmitter and reflects off the ionosphere before reaching the receiver. 2. **Transmission Process**: When a radio wave is sent from a transmitting antenna, it travels towards the ionosphere, which is a layer of the Earth's atmosphere that contains a high concentration of ions and free electrons. 3. **Reflection from the Ionosphere**: The ionosphere reflects certain frequencies of radio waves back towards the Earth. This reflection allows the waves to travel beyond the horizon, making long-distance communication possible. ...
