The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Sky wave is reflected by ionosphere." - This is a true statement because sky wave propagation involves radio waves being transmitted from an antenna, traveling through the atmosphere, and being reflected back to Earth by the ionosphere. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "The reflected wave is out of phase of the incident wave and reaches the receiving antenna along with the direct wave from the transmitting antenna, causing interference." - This statement is also true. When a wave reflects off a surface (like the ionosphere), it undergoes a phase change. This means that the reflected wave is indeed out of phase with the incident wave. 3. **Analyzing the Relationship**: - We need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - Since the assertion is about the reflection of sky waves by the ionosphere, and the reason explains the phenomenon of phase change and interference that occurs as a result of this reflection, the reason does indeed provide a correct explanation for the assertion. 4. **Conclusion**: - Both the assertion and the reason are true statements. - The reason correctly explains the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion. ---

When a sky wave is reflected on to the ground

The displacement of the medium in a sound wave is given by the equation y_(1) = A cos(ax + bt) where A , a and b are positive constants. The wave is reflected by an obstacle situated at x = 0 . The intensity of the reflected wave is 0.64 times that of the incident wave. (a) What are the wavelength and frequency of incident wave? (b) Write the equation for the reflected wave. ( c ) In the resultant wave formed after reflection, find the maximum and minimum values of the particle speeds in the medium. (d) Express the resultant wave as a superposition of a standing wave and a travelling wave. What are the positions of the antinodes of the standing wave ? What is the direction of propagation of travelling wave?

Assertion: The surface wave propagation is used for medium wave band and for television broadcasting. Reason: The surface waves travel directly from transmitting antenna to receiver antenna through atmosphere.

(A) : Sometimes HF waves can also pass through ionosphere. (R) : The sky wave propagation depends on the vertical angle with which the radio waves are radiated from the antenna.

A wave is reflected from a rigid support. The change in phase on reflection will be

A : There is no energy transferred by standing waves . R : The total energy of each of incident and reflected wave .

Assertion: Space waves are used for line -of -sight communication. Reason: Space wave travels in a straight line from transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.

In a single reflection from the ionosphere, the sky waves cover a distance on ground not more than

Television signals reach us only through ground waves. The range R is related to the height h of the transmitter antenna as
