Electromagnetic waves of frequencies higher than 9sqrt(2) MHz are found to be not reflected by the ionosphere on a particular day at a place. The maximum electron density in the ionosphere is :

The maximum frequency of transmitted radio waves above which the radio waves are no longer reflected back by ionosphere is (N = maximum electron density of ionosphere, g = acceleration due to gravity)

For sky wave propagation of a 10 MHz signal, what should be the minimum electron density in ionosphere?

Assertion : Electromagnetic waves with frequencies more than the critical 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 critcal frequency for sky wave propagation if maximum number density of electrons in ionosphere is 10^(10) m_(-3) is
