Statement A: Space waves are used for line-of-sight communication (like TV broadcasting and microwave links) and also for satellite communication, as they travel in a straight line and are not reflected by the ionosphere. This statement is true. Statement B: Sky waves are used for long-distance radio communication. They are reflected by the ionosphere. The frequency range for sky wave propagation is typically from about 3 MHz to 30 MHz. Frequencies above 40 MHz are generally too high to be reflected by the ionosphere and are used for line-of-sight or space wave communication. Therefore, this statement is false.
Consider the following statements for propagation of waves and choose the correct option : Statement A : Space waves are used for line of sight communication as well as satellite communication. Statement B : Sky waves are used for communication in frequency range from 40 MHz to 100 MHz. - Question not attempted
