Question:
Which atmospheric layer causes reflection of radio waves and makes long wave radio communication possible?
Which atmospheric layer causes reflection of radio waves and makes long wave radio communication possible?
Show Hint
The ionosphere reflects radio waves; remember ”Ionosphere = Ionized for radio.”
Updated On: Dec 21, 2024
- Thermosphere
- Ionosphere
- Mesosphere
- Stratosphere
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The ionosphere contains ions and free electrons that reflect and refract radio waves back to Earth, enabling long-distance radio communication. It plays a crucial role in HF (High Fre quency) radio transmissions.
