The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements provided in the question, let's break down each statement step by step: ### Step 1: Understand Statement-I **Statement-I:** "A communication satellite is essentially a repeater in space." - A communication satellite receives signals from a transmitter on Earth and then retransmits those signals back to Earth. - This process makes the satellite function like a repeater, which amplifies and forwards signals to extend their reach. ### Step 2: Understand Statement-II **Statement-II:** "It reflects the signals from transmitter to receiver." - Communication satellites typically use transponders to receive signals from the transmitter. - Instead of merely reflecting signals, they often convert the signals to a different frequency and then retransmit them to the receiver. - However, in a broader sense, the satellite does facilitate the transmission of signals from the transmitter to the receiver. ### Step 3: Evaluate the Truth of Each Statement - Both statements are fundamentally correct. - Statement-I accurately describes the function of a communication satellite as a repeater. - Statement-II, while slightly misleading in its wording (as it implies reflection rather than retransmission), still conveys the essential idea that the satellite facilitates communication between the transmitter and receiver. ### Conclusion Both statements are true, but Statement-II could be considered less precise. However, in the context of the question, both statements support the overall understanding of how communication satellites operate. ### Final Answer Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true. ---

Perhaps, the most commonly used mode of communication involves use of free space as a communication channel between transmitter and receiver. The various possible modes of using of free space have been described below Ground wave communication : This mode is used for low frequency as at high frequency, losses become large. This is useful for distance of the order of 1 km. Space wave communication: The signals are transmitted directly from transmitter to receiver. There is no limit to upper frequency, but its range is limited to few hundred kilometers. The range depends on the height of transmitting antenna Sky wave communication : The signals are sent towards sky They are reflected back towards earth by ionosphere. Its range can be above 500 km. But, very high frequencies (above 10 MHz) are not reflected back. Satellite communication: The signals that cannot be reflected back by ionosphere are reflected back by satellite. Moon is a passive satellite of earth. The frequency range allotted to FM radio broadcast is 88 MHz to 108 MHz. Which of the following communication channels can be used for its transmission? A. Sky wave communication only B. Space wave communication only C. Satellite communication only D. Either space wave communication or satellite communication
