The correct Answer is:
To determine the appropriate mode of communication for the waves A, B, and C with frequencies 1600 kHz, 5 MHz, and 60 MHz respectively, we need to analyze the modes of communication based on the frequency ranges. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Frequencies**: - Wave A: 1600 kHz - Wave B: 5 MHz - Wave C: 60 MHz 2. **Convert Frequencies for Comparison**: - Convert 1600 kHz to MHz: \[ 1600 \text{ kHz} = \frac{1600}{1000} \text{ MHz} = 1.6 \text{ MHz} \] - Therefore, the frequencies are: - Wave A: 1.6 MHz - Wave B: 5 MHz - Wave C: 60 MHz 3. **Understand the Modes of Communication**: - **Ground Wave Propagation**: Effective up to 3 MHz. - **Sky Wave Propagation**: Effective from 3 MHz to about 30-40 MHz. - **Space Wave Propagation**: Effective for frequencies above 30-40 MHz. 4. **Determine the Mode for Each Wave**: - **Wave A (1.6 MHz)**: This frequency is less than 3 MHz, so it will be transmitted via **Ground Wave**. - **Wave B (5 MHz)**: This frequency is between 3 MHz and 30 MHz, so it will be transmitted via **Sky Wave**. - **Wave C (60 MHz)**: This frequency is greater than 30 MHz, so it will be transmitted via **Space Wave**. 5. **Match with Given Options**: - Option 1: A - Space wave, B & C - Sky wave (Incorrect) - Option 2: A - Ground wave, B - Sky wave, C - Space wave (Correct) - Option 3: B & C - Ground wave, A - Sky wave (Incorrect) - Option 4: B - Ground wave, A & C - Sky wave (Incorrect) 6. **Conclusion**: - The correct option is **Option 2**: A is transmitted via Ground Wave, B via Sky Wave, and C via Space Wave. ### Final Answer: The appropriate mode of communication is **Option 2**: A is transmitted via ground wave, B via sky wave, and C via space wave. ---
